Breast Cancer: Early Detection Saves Lives, Says Remi Tinubu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has called on women across the country to make their health a priority, saying early detection and regular medical screening remain the most effective ways to prevent deaths from breast cancer.

In a message to mark the 2025 Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mrs Tinubu reminded women that vigilance and self-care are critical to reducing the growing burden of the disease.

“As women, mothers, sisters, and daughters, our health must remain a priority,” she said. “Early detection saves lives. Regular self-examination and timely medical screening are key in the fight against breast cancer.”

The First Lady urged Nigerians to use the month of October — globally recognised as Breast Cancer Awareness Month — to raise public awareness, support survivors, and encourage one another to take proactive steps for better health.

“This month, let us raise awareness, support survivors, and encourage one another to take proactive steps for better health.Let us work together to stay healthy,” she concluded.
