Launched on October 16, 2023, the free eye care initiative has already transformed lives across the nine local government areas of Ogun East.
The first phase, organized by Daniel’s Gateway Front Foundation (GFF) in partnership with Eye Foundation Hospital, benefitted over 1,000 residents through free tests, screenings, medicated glasses, drugs, and life-changing surgeries.
“Good sight enhances mental and psychological well-being, and also improves productivity. This programme is part of my mission to make life more pleasant for our people,” Senator Daniel said at the launch.
For many, the results have been transformative. Elderly residents now read and live independently again, while young workers have regained productivity.
A grandmother from Sagamu, who once gave up hope of clear sight, said, “Today, I can thread a needle and read my Bible without help. Senator Daniel has given me back my independence.”
A farmer in Ijebu Igbo added, “Before, I couldn’t sort my harvest properly. Now, with my treatment, I can work faster and earn better. This is more than healthcare; it is empowerment.”
Such testimonies explain the senator’s growing support across Ogun East. His emphasis on practical, people-focused interventions reflects his long-standing humanitarian philosophy.
Long before entering the Senate, Daniel’s GFF had already been driving grassroots development through scholarships, vocational training, microcredit schemes, and health outreaches.
For him, representation means real welfare. As he often says, “Representation is meaningless if it doesn’t translate to real welfare for the people.
” His humanitarian efforts continue to demonstrate that politics anchored in compassion can transform lives.
Community leaders agree. One remarked from Ijebu Ode, “We know politicians who only come around during elections.
But Senator Daniel has shown us he is here for us, always. That is why we will continue to stand by him.”
Beyond Ogun East, the Gbenga Daniel eye care programme is being hailed as a model for tackling healthcare gaps in underserved areas.
Plans are underway to expand outreach and sustain monthly clinics, ensuring even more residents benefit.

By turning representation into restoration, Senator Daniel has proven that when leaders put humanity first, they don’t just win elections they win hearts.
The Governor of Zamfara State, His Excellency Dauda Lawal, has approved a 95 percent salary increase for health workers across the state.
The approval, which adopts the Federal Government’s Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), is aimed at improving the welfare of health workers and strengthening healthcare delivery in the state.
The development follows an earlier increase by the state government to bring the salaries of medical personnel in Zamfara in line with those of their counterparts in the Federal Government.
With the new approval, a health worker currently earning ₦100,000 will now take home ₦195,000, while someone on ₦200,000 will earn ₦390,000. A worker on ₦300,000 will now receive ₦585,000, and those on ₦500,000 and ₦1,000,000 will earn ₦975,000 and ₦1,950,000 respectively.
In effect, the 95 percent increase means the existing salary of every affected health worker is almost doubled.
The approval is expected to boost morale, attract and retain qualified health professionals, and ultimately improve healthcare delivery across the state.
It also comes shortly after the state government recruited new health workers last week, with the newly engaged staff set to benefit from the new salary structure.
Health workers in the state have since expressed appreciation to Governor Lawal for the gesture, describing it as a major boost to the sector.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of workers and the delivery of quality healthcare services to the people of Zamfara State.
