The reigning Miss Electronic Media Nigeria 2016/2017, Queen Gift Isioma Okolie, has disclosed plans to launch a foundation to create awareness and combat the scourge of cervical cancer in Nigeria come January 30, 2018.
The name of the foundation, according to her, is “El-Beulah Foundation”, which will be in celebration of the cervical cancer awareness month in January and “preparatory to my handover to a new queen of Electronic Media Nigeria”.
She said: “As the month of January draws near, the least we can do for humanity is to bring the news nearer and closer to the general public, especially the women.
“That is what we have committed ourselves to, using El-Beulah Foundation as a platform to combat cervical cancer. Remember that cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide with almost 80 per cent occurring in developing countries such as Nigeria.”
