The OCI Foundation’s President, Dr Chris Ifediora, was on ground, along with other high profile members of the Foundation. Videos and Pictures from the event are included below.

This event was to originally hold on the 1st of February, 2022, but, due to unforeseen circumstances, it was eventually staged on February the 2nd, just one day before the National Flag-off ceremony of the “Arm Our Youths (ArOY) Anti-Cancer Health Campaign“, scheduled for February 3, 2022.

The Arm Our Youths (ArOY) Anti-Cancer Health Campaign is part of the OCI Foundation’s efforts at regularly empowering hundreds of thousands of Nigerian youths with anti-breast and anti-cervical cancer preventive messages. Nigerian Senior Secondary Schools are also the target of a related but separate arm of the ArOY Health Campaign. Following a colourful launch o February 2, 2022, the Campaign holds six times (editions) a year across Nigeria’s 37 National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camps.
