The event was an awareness campaign put together by the International Cancer Week Initiative.

The campaign, which also attracted people from all walks of life, featured lectures, musical  performances and other interesting activities.

Respected man of God, Pastor Itua Ighodalo, advised those present to come closer to God because  cancer is caused by sin.

According to him, “if the the adult and the younger ones can move away from sin, especially premarital  sex, they will not be afflicted by cancer or any other ailments.”

Speaking on the significance of music in the campaign against breast cancer, the coordinator,  International Cancer week Initiative and President Breast Without Spot Initiative, Professor Ifeoma  Okoye, said music is part of the vehicle used to campaign against the killer disease, adding, “the  youths love music so they can learn while listening to music.”

Okoye, however, called on women to shun smoking, excessive drinking of alcohol, junk food and go for  breast checks virtually on daily basis so as to prevent breast cancer.
