Energy companies in Nigeria, including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and its joint ventures, are conducting medical outreach programs to provide healthcare services to underserved communities. In Edo State, a joint venture between NNPC Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL) and Seplat Energy launched the ‘Eye Can See’ programme. This three-day initiative, held in partnership with Edo Specialist Hospital, provided free eye screenings, cataract surgeries, prescription glasses, dental care, and basic health checks to thousands of residents. Separately, the ‘Vision First’ initiative—a collaboration between NNPC and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo)—has reached over 10,000 beneficiaries since its 2022 launch.
