“Along with my sisters from First Ladies Against Cancer and other critical stakeholders, I attended the ministerial briefing the Federal Ministry of Health, to mark World Cancer Day.
The Honourable Minister, Tunji Alausa gave updates on milestones and plans for improving cancer outcomes in Nigeria. Notably, 6 comprehensive centers are being upgraded across the country.
Cancer stakeholders in Nigeria are filled with Renewed Hope.”
