He noted that the medical exercise, which included cataract surgery for about 500 patients, was unprecedented, and urged other politicians to emulate the humanitarian gestures embarked upon by the speaker.

“This programme sponsored by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Dogara Yakubu, through an organisation known as Doctors on the moveAfrica is highly commendable because Cataract is one of the problems we are facing in the state, which we have never received any gesture like this before”, he said
