Former Nigerian President Obasanjo Joins Global Oncology To Commit to a Cervical Cancer-Free Future for Nigerian Women

President Obasanjo’s role as Cervical Cancer-Free Nigeria Campaign Ambassador will accelerate broad-scale vaccination of Nigerians against HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2021 / Global Oncology, a U.S.-based non-profit organization announces the appointment of Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo as Presidential Ambassador of the Cervical Cancer-Free Nigeria campaign (www.CervicalCancerFree.org). The grassroots campaign is mobilizing communities across Nigeria to improve access to and uptake of the HPV vaccine, which will help achieve the WHO’s target of a cervical-cancer free future – the first global commitment to eliminate a cancer.Africa1

“Women are the cornerstone of Nigerian society – we must commit to their health and well-being. I am thus honored to partner with Global Oncology to advance the Cervical Cancer-Free Nigeria campaign,” said President Obasanjo. “I am confident that Nigeria can lead the charge in achieving the WHO goal of vaccinating at least 90% of girls by 2030. We must raise awareness and end this disease once and for all.”

Cervical cancer is the second-most common cancer in Nigeria and three Nigerian women die of the disease every day. These deaths are preventable with the HPV vaccine, scheduled for introduction in Nigeria in 2021. Previous research has clearly shown that the success of a vaccine rollout – whether it is the HPV vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine – depends on the general public being made aware of vaccine safety, efficacy and availability. To address this critical need, Global Oncology and its partner organizations have developed innovative educational tools and advocacy strategies to ensure that there is a high level of awareness, readiness and uptake of the HPV vaccine when it is rolled out nationally.

Dr. Ami S. Bhatt, Co-founder of Global Oncology and Associate Professor of Medicine and Genetics at Stanford University, said, “We are so fortunate that President Obasanjo has so passionately committed to improve the lives of women and girls across Nigeria as a part of the Cervical Cancer-Free Nigeria campaign. He will no doubt accelerate progress and ensure the success of this life-saving effort.”

Other distinguished Nigerian Ambassadors of the CCFN campaign include Otunba Abimbola Ogunbanjo, President of the National Council of The Nigerian Stock Exchange; Senator LanreTejuoso, Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos and President of the Legislative Initiative for Sustainable Development; Dr. Zainab ShinkafiBagudu, First Lady of Kebbi State and Founder and CEO of Medicaid Cancer Foundation; Mr. Patrick Doyle, Broadcaster and producer; Ms. Rekiya Ibrahim Attah, Actress; Ms. TounSonaiya, Radio broadcaster and CEO of WFM 91.7; Ms. Tinu Eze, Teacher and mentor; Ms. Amarachi Nwosu, Creative director and cultural consultant; Ms. Karo Omu, Founder of Sanitary Aid Initiative; and Ms. Folashade Domingo, Health advocate.

Suspect sought for murder of a man suspected to have been involved in Rhino poaching activities

NELSPRUIT – Police in Mpumalanga are looking for suspects who shot and killed a 57 year old man, who was previously arrested on several allegations related to rhino poaching cases which are currently before the High Court. The man’s killing occurred earlier today, 17 June 2021 at Hazyview.

The deceased was sitting in his Ford Ranger doublecab bakkie next to a shopping complex, when a group of about three armed suspects, who were driving in a black VW Polo, fired several shots at him and then fled the scene. He was rushed to hospital thereafter, where he later succumbed to the gunshot injuries. During the shooting, a passer-by who is an elderly woman also became a victim of the circumstances as she too, was shot on her lower body but she is currently recuperating in hospital.

The police were notified about the incident where a murder case was opened with an additional charge of attempted murder hence the manhunt. No arrests have been made as yet and the motive for the killing is unknown at this point.

The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Major General Thulani Phahla has strongly condemned the incident and called for the swift arrest of the suspects. “No one has a right to take another person’s life regardless of the reasons. We are optimistic that members of the community will share information with the police so that the perpetrators can be brought to book in an instant,” said General Phahla.

Members of the public are urged to assist with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects to call the

Parliament postpones hearings into Children’s Amendment Bill

Public hearings into the Children’s Amendment Bill have been suspended until further notice, Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Social Development has announced.

Committee chairperson Mondli Gungubele said the postponement of public hearings is an important step in the context of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s pronouncement to move the country to lockdown Level 3.

“The committee is always mindful of the COVID-19 outbreak. The numbers are reportedly increasing at an alarming rate, and the committee cannot afford to expose our people to the dangers of COVID-19,” Gungubele said on Wednesday.

Gungubele said public hearings by nature, as evidenced in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, mean a huge turnout of people in a confined space.

“As much as the committee complies with all COVID-19 protocols and prevention measures, one cannot guarantee 100% safety,” Gungubele said.

The public hearings were scheduled to take place in the North West, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape in the next four weeks.

The Children’s Amendment Bill intends to improve services for children and ensure that their welfare is adequately taken care of.

The bill seeks to introduce the definition of “sexual offence” as a way of aligning the Children’s Act with the Sexual Offences Act.

It also proposes creating a “deeming” provision in the Children’s Act that makes it easier to find adult offenders unsuitable to work with children. –
