Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria, BRECAN, the initiative of Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu, the wife of Ondo State governor, has attracted the applause of Dayo Awude, the ex-chief protocol officer to Olusegun Mimiko, the immediate past governor of Ondo State.
Awude, who also served the former government as Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, expressed his admiration for Anyanwu-Akeredolu’s breast cancer awareness programme on his facebook page after he attended a programme on Social Media Day held at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, where the Ondo first lady gave a keynote address on breast cancer awareness campaign.
Awude noted that he was impressed with the graphic way Anyanwu-Akeredolu was going about the “cancer is real campaign,” stressing that while “cancer is real, the solution is equally real.” He maintained that Nigerian women, based on the first lady’s awareness on cancer solutions would no longer need to suffer needless pain and death through the disease.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu’s pet project BRECAN is aimed at rousing women’s awareness about the reality of breast cancer, its challenge and the fact that Breast cancer is not a death knell on its victim as there are ” easy-to- reach” medical solution to the disease.
BRECAN celebrated 20th year anniversary and third international symposium in October 2017 in Akure and the event attracted international experts on cancer issues .
Based on her campaign on breast cancer awareness, Anyanwu-Akeredolu has won both international and local awards….
