First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has made a passionate call to Nigerians to heighten awareness about breast cancer, support survivors, and adopt proactive health measures in the ongoing battle against the disease. As the nation observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025, she emphasized that the fight against breast cancer requires collective effort and unwavering commitment from all sectors of society.
In her message, the First Lady stressed the critical importance of solidarity and compassion, urging communities to come together to support women who have been affected by breast cancer. She highlighted that early detection through regular medical screenings and self-examinations plays a pivotal role in saving lives and improving treatment outcomes.
“Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge, but with early detection and timely medical intervention, many lives can be saved,” she said. “This month, let us not only raise awareness but also actively support survivors and encourage one another to take proactive steps toward better health.”
The First Lady also underscored the vital role women play in families and society—as mothers, sisters, daughters, and leaders—and called on everyone to prioritize their health and well-being. She emphasized that health consciousness should be viewed as a national priority, integral to the overall progress and prosperity of the country.
In addition to raising awareness, she called for continuous education and community engagement on preventive care measures. She encouraged health practitioners, policymakers, and civil society organizations to intensify efforts in reaching out to women across the country, ensuring access to information, screening services, and treatment options.
“Promoting women’s health is not just a personal responsibility—it is a shared commitment that requires all of us to be involved. By working together, we can create an environment where women feel empowered to take control of their health and lives,” she said.
Finally, the First Lady extended her heartfelt good wishes to all Nigerian women and their families observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She urged everyone to remain vigilant, informed, and proactive, reinforcing that a healthier future is possible through awareness, support, and early action.
