“I truly appreciate the recognition and goodwill from His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of Nigeria following my election as President-Elect of Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Thank you, sir. I will utilize the platform to drive equitable cancer care for all, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and will work tirelessly to provide succor for those with unmet needs.

I also appreciate our health leadership especially the Coordinating Minister Muhammad Ali Pate, Minister of State Tunji Alausa, and the entire National Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment team.”
