The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda has made cancer treatment possible in the country.
Idris mentioned this when he and his team paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Enugu State, Mr Peter Mbah, on Thursday in Enugu.
He stated that all the information structures of the Federal Government were brought to Enugu to see and report on the positive efforts of Tinubu and Mbah.
According to Idris, Tinubu has done so well that one will wonder if he is in his second term.
He also disclosed that he had noticed what Mbah had done in the state, describing Enugu as the heart of the South-East.
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 revolutionised the health sector so 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 because 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 stated that Tinubu’s efforts enabled security agencies to collaborate and achieve results, leading to an improved security situation in the country.
However, he added that the President will continue to address challenges.
