It was yet another big day in the OCI Foundation’s novel quest to arm every Nigerian with the tools required to fight breast and cervical cancers, as a Bill seeking to include relevant teachings into the curriculum of all senior secondary schools in Nigeria, scaled through Public Hearing.

The Bill is being sponsored by Hon Dr Tanko Sununu (the Chief Sponsor and Chairman, House Committee on Health Care Services) and Hon Prof Julius Ihonvbere (the Co-Sponsor and Chairman, House Committee on Basic Education). It also has the support of the Distinguished Sen Dr Ifeanyi Uba of the Nigerian Senate.

The public hearings for this Bill, which was declared open by the Speaker of the Nigerian House Of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (represented by the Deputy House Leader, Hon Peterson Akpatason), were held on Thursday, September 29th, and Friday September 30th, 2022, at the at the Nigerian National Assembly (NASS). The Bill had already scaled through First (Thursday, March 31, 2022). and Second (Wednesday, July 20, 2022) hearings at the floor of the Nigerian House of Representatives.

This anti-cancer Bill is part of the OCI Foundation’s "ARM OUR YOUTHS (ArOY) ANTI-CANCER HEALTH CAMPAIGN", a novel initiative targeting youths in NIGERIAN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS and the NATIONAL YOUTHS SERVICE CORPS (NYSC) SCHEME.

The ArOY Health Campaign is the first of its kind anywhere in the world, and, when fully passed into law and implemented, the provisions of this Bill can change the narrative against breast and cervical cancers in Nigeria and the developing world. The OCI Foundation intends to extend this Bill to the rest of Africa through the relevant arms of the African Union, AU.

The ArOY Health Campaign enjoys the support of the Nigerian First Lady, Her Excellency, DR AISHA BUHARI, whose NGO, the FUTURE ASSURED FOUNDATION, is supportive of the anti-cancer Bill.

Already, in partnership with Nigerian National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), the OCI Foundation is annually delivering the same anti-cancer campaign to hundreds of thousands of Nigerian fresh graduates (youth corps members) in all the 37 NYSC orientation camps in Nigeria (the 36 states plus the FCT).

Success at the just-concluded Public Heating will be followed by the Third (Final) Reading on the floor of the Nigerian House of Representatives. Once passed there, the Bill will then be transmitted to the Nigerian Senate for harmonization. Thereafter, it goes to the Nigerian President, His Excellency, Mohammadu BUHARI, for signing into law.

With the near-universal endorsement of all stakeholders present at the Public Hearing (listed below), the OCI Foundation is optimistic that the dream to empower Nigerian youths against breast and cervical cancers in all the senior secondary schools across the country, will soon become a reality. The Foundation is deeply thankful to Hon Dr Tanko and Hon Prof Julius Ihonvbere, the Chief and Co-sponsors of the Bill, respectively.

Alongside the Nigerian First Lady, other partners to the ArOY Health Campaign Bill include the Nigerian Cancer Society (NCS), the Nigerian First Ladies Against Cancer (FLAC), the Sweet Home Africa Humanitarian Foundation (SHAHF), the Federation of International Women Lawyers (FIDA), and the Amity Global Network/Alex Reports.

Other Nigerian institutions and partners of the OCI Foundation that are supportive of the Bill include the National Research and Educational Council (NERDC), the National Orientation Agency (NOA), the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs (FMWA), the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA), the Ifeanyi Uba Foundation, Breast Without Spots (BWS), the Regamos Foundation, the Excellent Leadership NGO.

Most of the organisations mentioned above were present at the Public Hearing. Also present were the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), the Federal Ministry of Education (FMOE), and some representatives of two senior secondary schools in Abuja (Start Rite School AND Early Heights College).

Nice

Ok

Mr. Peter Obi as a president will return value and dignity to Nigeria and Nigerians.

#Obidients lets not give up. This fight is for us and the generation unborn.

Is that not Alex Report abi na eye dey pain me?

Well, Peter Obi will do more if he eventually becomes the president of Nigeria. This I know for sure.

I also want to use the opportunity to pass this message to those who have decided to be #Obidient & #Yusuful to their unborn generation.

While pointing out Tinubu errors we should focus more on Atiku. As the Tally stands now Atiku is one the major contender because most Northerners would rather vote Atiku than vote Obi if they are not voting Tinubu.

I know this for sure as someone that lives in FCT Currently. Atiku got more red flags as Tinubu so I see no reason any sensible person should vote him.

But I will begin with the JAGA JAGA BANDIT first.

The Tinubu some Tribal bigots are supporting have been silent all this while regarding several Fulani herders attack in his region just to clinch the presidential ticket of APC. Not only that, still picked a northern Muslim who hates restructuring with passion.

I actually watched him LIVE on AIT say it and I quote;

"I don't believe in Restructuring, Restructuring my foot, To hell with restructuring." ~ Shettima

Atiku on the other hand deleted his tweet about Deborah death and denied ever being responsible for the tweet all for the presidential ticket of PDP plus possible massive vote from his people. Which I know is going to happen if we don't start giving them reasons why they shouldn't.

Atiku A man that has one of the biggest generator company in Nigeria (Mikano Generators) can't and won't give maximum effort to fixing electricity in Nigeria. That is if he even makes attempt at all. We can't be fooled.

And you tell me this set of people (Atiku & Tinubu) won't dance to the to tone of major Northern cabals and Islamic scholars that believes Nigeria belongs to the North and the North alone.

Funny thing is most Tinubu supporters haven't yet realised that Tinubu is just a placeholder for Shettima. Just in case anything happens.

Shettima carrying out Tinubu duties/responsibilities now is a clear indication that Shettima is a placeholder for him (Tinubu). Shettima A terrorist apologist and sympathizer would be the one ruling us all if APC eventually wins come 2023. Mark this day.

Peter Obi is the only candidate that has been weighed, checked and scanned and haven't been found wanting. Fully tested and trusted. He is not a saint, yes, but the best among all.

"PETER OBI is not desperate to rule Nigerians but desperate to rescue Nigerians." Get the point. His commitment and dedication to Anambra state when he was a governor proofs it all. (A no nonsense man with zero tolerance for corruption).

Vote Peter Gregory Obi for; accountability, speedy execution of government projects, maximum security, and many more. P.O is the only presidential candidate that would release the names of the sponsors of Boko Boys and make sure they are dealt with. Atiku and Tinubu will never do it.

The ball is in your court well meaning Nigerians. If we don't get it right now. We suffer for another 8 years. Move from being on the fence to jumping into Obi bandwagon. You won't regret it.

Vote Wisely Nigerians.

GOOD

Magority of Peter Obi supporters get high I.Q.

For example;
***Stop eating sugar of any form and reduce chances of having cancer of any form by more than 50%.

Modified;
You may ask what sugar?
Example;
All soft drinks especially the one with initial "C" or "P"
All malt drinks even with deception,
"low sugar".
All processed food with added sugar.




Vote Peter Obi for President!

Vote Labour Party.


We go update you for many things.

Hmmm

This is an okay bill. An awareness bill. I just hope the budget will not become an avenue for something else. Because this has a sense of scam and distractions. And hopefully, many Nigerians will not start having cancer, because currently the cancer rate is very low.


By the way, they need to scrap NYSC for now. Use that money to join the payments for teachers or building drainage. Everytime NYSC when the leaders are not leading by example in the nysc intent.

Not bad initiative , hope it goes well
