At the Worldwide Cancer Day in February 2024, the foundation screened about 291 Abuja residents for breast, cervical and prostate cancer.

The initiative targets over 3,000 Nigerians across the country’s six geopolitical zones, with screenings underway in Benue, Gombe, Kaduna, Ondo, Rivers, and Imo States.

The Managing Director of the NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe,

she highlighted the significance of the initiative, emphasising the foundation’s commitment to cancer awareness and early detection.

“As we all know, this is World Cancer Month, the whole of October, so we’re excited to be giving back and doing things to help bring awareness to cancer.

“Cancer is a disease that the best thing you need to do to treat it is really to detect. Early detection is key, as is prevention,” she said.

Arukwe added that in 2023 alone, approximately 127,000 cases of cancer were recorded in Nigeria, with a distressing 70% mortality rate. “This is not looking good, so it’s essential that early detection remains a priority,” she added.

In addition to the screenings, the outreach includes education on cancer prevention, early detection strategies, and information on accessing the Federal Ministry of Health’s cancer fund.

Screenings are free for men aged 40 and above and women aged 30 and above and are available from October 29 to November 1, 2024, at designated centres across the six states.

These centres include K-Medic Diagnostics in Kaduna, Musafaha Imaging Center in Benue, Image Diagnostics in Rivers, Specialized Diagnostics Center in Gombe, Union Diagnostics in Ondo, and Short Care Diagnostics in Imo.

“We’re excited to be doing this,” Arukwe said, urging all Nigerians to join in the fight against cancer. Your health is your wealth. Early detection saves lives.”
