An international non-governmental organisation, Sightsavers has pledged continued commitment to partnering with the federal government towards the elimination of elephantiasis and other Neglected Tropical Disease ( NTD) across the country. The organisation on Thursday disclosed this through a statement to mark 2026 World Neglected Tropical ( NTD) Day. The communications officer of the organisation, Joy Tarbo, noted that the Sightsavers have intimidated several projects aimed at addressing these diseases across Nigeria. “ Sightsavers continues to work closely with government institutions, international partners, and local communities to eliminate NTDs across the country. According to her, a report of the World Health Organization (WHO) stating that around 110 million people in Nigeria remain at risk of lymphatic filariasis ( LF) is worrisome.
