The wife of Zamfara Governor, Hajiya Huriya Dauda-Lawal has shouldered the responsibility of conducting screening and surgery of 100 breast cancer patients in the state.

The governor’s wife made this known during a cancer awareness campaign in Gusau.

The awareness camping rally took-off from Government House to General Hospital Gusau.

“Today, we walked together in solidarity, proclaiming that No one should face Breast Cancer alone.

“We stand united in support of those affected, honouring the strength of survivors and the memory of loved ones lost,” she said.

Mrs Dauda-Lawal maintained that with the support from her husband, 100 selected breast cancer patients would undergo free screening and lumpectomy surgery in the state.

“I am proud to announce that my office has sponsored free breast cancer screening and lumpectomy surgery to 100 carefully selected women, ensuring access to life saving care for those who need it most.

“Let’s march forward, hand in hand, towards a better future to support every individual facing breast cancer with hope, encouragement, and victory in the state,” she noted.

To mark the world breast cancer day 2024 in the state, she said, a street walk was led by her with NGOs, civil society organisations (CSOs) and some government officials trekking from Government House to General hospital Gusau.
