Mrs Tinubu gave the advice during the commemoration of the Medicaid Cancer Foundation (MCF)’s Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, tagged: WalkawayCancer@10, in Abuja.

Represented by wife of the speaker of the National Assembly, Mrs. Fatima Abass, Senator Tinubu’s message highlighted Dr. Zainab Bagudu’s ongoing commitment to cancer awareness.

“I commend her for her tireless effort,” said Mrs. Tinubu, urging attendees to prioritise health. “Cancer affects us all, directly or indirectly. I just went last week to do a cancer checkup, and I advise everyone to get screened for breast cancer and other forms of cancer.

„It is crucial that we prioritise awareness and early detection and treatment. We must support research and initiatives that provide care and support those affected,“ she added.
