Radio Interview on Women's Health
The delegation proceeded to a radio interview on YES 107.1 FM, Ibadan. Renowned medical expert and public health advocate, Dr. Olanrewaju Ademola Ojo, featured on a scheduled live interview programme to discuss cervical cancer prevention, screening, and the importance of early detection and treatment.
He emphasised that cervical cancer remains one of the most preventable forms of cancer when detected early through regular screening and timely medical intervention. The medical practitioner urged women, particularly those within the vulnerable age bracket, to embrace routine cervical cancer screening and take advantage of available preventive measures.
He stressed the need for increased public awareness, noting that inadequate knowledge and poor screening uptake remain major factors contributing to cervical cancer-related deaths in Nigeria. Ojo called on government agencies, healthcare providers, community leaders, and the media to intensify advocacy campaigns aimed at educating the public on the dangers of cervical cancer and the life-saving benefits of early diagnosis and treatment.
Private Visit and National Development
The visit concluded with a private visit to the headquarters of the Apostolic Church LAWNA, Ketu, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. While speaking to journalists, Ojo said Nigerians in the diaspora remain deeply concerned about developments in the country and are committed to supporting efforts aimed at national development.
He urged citizens to believe in a better Nigeria while expressing confidence in the current administration. According to him, the Federal Government is implementing policies that will ultimately improve the welfare of Nigerians and strengthen the nation's economy. Ojo noted that addressing longstanding national challenges requires patience and sustained commitment, adding that Nigerians should continue to support President Tinubu's administration and his anticipated re-election bid in the 2027 presidential election.
