From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

Wife of Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has urged residents to renew their commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging regular health screenings, and supporting those currently undergoing cancer treatment.

Mrs. Soludo, who made the call yesterday, in commemoration of the National Cancer Survivors Day, said behind every survivor remained a story of strength, perseverance, and unyielding will to live.

She described the journey of cancer survivors as a powerful reminder that hope is stronger than fear, and that with timely diagnosis, quality care, support from loved ones, and determination, remarkable victories are possible.

She said, “Every first Sunday of June, we commemorate National Cancer Survivors Day to celebrate the courage, resilience, and unwavering spirit of individuals who have faced one of life’s toughest battles and emerged stronger.

“Every survivor’s journey is a powerful reminder that hope is stronger than fear, and that with timely diagnosis, quality care, support from loved ones, and determination, remarkable victories are possible. Behind every survivor is a story of strength, perseverance, and an unyielding will to live.

“As we honour cancer survivors, let us also renew our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging regular health screenings, and supporting those currently undergoing treatment.

“Early detection saves lives, and a culture of preventive healthcare remains one of our strongest tools in the fight against cancer.

“To every survivor, we celebrate you. Your journey inspires hope, your strength inspires courage, and your story reminds us that every day is a gift worth embracing.”
