WORLD CANCER DAY 2025
In a powerful show of unity and action, the International Visitor Leadership Program Alumni Association (IVLPAA) in partnership with the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government and Oncopadi, a Lagos-based cancer treatment hospital, gathered in Amuwo-Odofin on February 4, 2025 to mark World Cancer Day 2025 under the theme “United by Unique.”
The event highlighted the urgent need for awareness, early detection, and improved access to cancer care in Nigeria.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Adedayo Oketola, President of IVLPAA, emphasized the importance of collaboration in the fight against cancer.
“Cancer does not discriminate, and neither should we. The fight against cancer cannot be waged in isolation; it requires unity, resilience, and a commitment to ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to the information, support, and care they need,” he stated.
Oketola also called on individuals and organizations to take concrete steps in raising awareness and supporting those battling cancer.
