The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has said President Bola Tinubu’s renewed Hope Agenda has made cancer treatment possible in the country.
Idris made this statement on Thursday during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Enugu State, Mr. Peter Mbah, in Enugu.
He explained that the entire federal information team was in the state to observe and report on the positive impact of both President Tinubu’s and Governor Mbah’s initiatives.
According to him, Tinubu has done so well that one will wonder if he is in his second term.
Idris also said that he had noticed what Mbah had done in the state, describing Enugu as the heart of the South-East.
He said, “We have seen what the governor has done, from the policies and programmes of his predecessor.
“Also, we are here to show that President Tinubu is working and to see what his policies and programmes are achieving positively across the region.
“Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda, in policies and programmes, has revolutionized the health sector that treatment of cancer can now be done here in Nigeria.
“There are six treatment facilities in the six zones of the country, including Enugu, with similar machines found in other parts of the world, and experts have been trained to handle them.
“So, anyone who wants to go out of the country to treat cancer is doing so based on choice, and not that we don’t have facilities and experts to treat the person.
“We must give credit to President Tinubu for the people he put in place to revamp the health sector.”
The minister also noted improvements in national security, attributing the progress to better collaboration among security agencies facilitated by the President’s reforms.
However, he acknowledged that more work still lies ahead and assured that President Tinubu remains committed to tackling the country’s challenges
