The president in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga underscored the historic significance of Dr. Shinkafi-Bagudu’s election on October 8 as the first African and the fifth woman to lead the global cancer control organisation.

The president noted that her election attests to her competence and character and affirms the enormous talents that abound in Nigeria.

President Tinubu described Shinkafi-Bagudu’s ascension in the organisation as a landmark achievement and a testament to Nigeria’s growing influence in global health leadership.

President Tinubu recalled Dr Shinkafi-Bagudu’s invaluable services to Kebbi State and the country, for which Nigeria is deeply grateful. He lauded her stewardship as chairperson of the First Ladies Cancer Initiative and her contributions to establishing the Kebbi State Strategic Plan for Cancer Control during her tenure as the First Lady of Kebbi State.

The administration has allocated N37.4 billion to the Federal Ministry of Health’s Oncology Initiative.

 

This initiative will facilitate the establishment of six cancer centres across the country within two years, located in teaching hospitals in Benin, Zaria, Katsina, Enugu, Jos, and Lagos.

President Tinubu expressed confidence in Dr. Shinkafi-Bagudu’s ability to use her new office and leadership to improve cancer control and global health.

 

The Geneva-based UICC was founded in 1933 and has more than 1,100 member organisations in over 170 countries and territories.
