Congratulating the Kebbi State First lady who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Medicaid Cancer Foundation, for being shortlisted as a candidate for UICC President-elect, the President said it well deserved.

The statement partly reads, ‘‘I am proud of your passion and commitment in various capacities towards improving the cancer care landscape in Nigeria.

‘‘Of note are your activities as Founder of Medicaid Cancer Foundation, Chairperson of the Frist Ladies against Cancer Initiative (FLAC), member of the national cancer control steering committee and Cancer Health Fund, publication and implementation of the Kebbi State Strategic Plan for Cancer Control, and a two-term board member of the UICC. Most of all, I applaud your role in championing cancer awareness and advocacy.’’

President Buhari highlighted that his administration through the Federal Ministry of Health has put in place mechanisms to improve cancer care such as the Cancer Health Fund (CHF), Chemotherapy Access Treatment Program, and the inclusion of cancer into the National Health Insurance Authority scheme.

‘‘I have also signed into law the bill on the creation of the Nigerian National Cancer Institute and remain committed to seeing it start off as a legacy of this administration.
