Nigeria’s First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has called on women across the country to prioritise their health by undergoing regular medical checkups and screenings, as part of activities marking the 2025 Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
October is globally recognised as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a period dedicated to increasing public understanding of the disease and mobilising support for research into its causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.
The month-long campaign is also aimed at promoting early detection and improving access to care for millions of women worldwide.
In a message released on Monday in Abuja, Mrs Tinubu, who is also the Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) — a charitable organisation focused on health and social welfare — urged Nigerian women to make their wellbeing a personal and national priority.

“As women, mothers, sisters, and daughters, our health must remain a priority. Early detection saves lives — regular self-examination and timely medical screening are key in the fight against breast cancer,” she said.
She further encouraged women to support one another and raise awareness within their communities throughout the awareness month.
“This month, let us raise awareness, support survivors, and encourage one another to take proactive steps for better health. Let us work together to stay healthy. Happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025,” she added.
