The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCl) through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm, NNPC Foundation, has announced a new project offering free cancer screenings nationwide.
The project titled “Cancer Awareness and ZSX Screening” will also include health education, workshops, and consultations to raise awareness about early symptoms, preventive health practices, and the importance of regular screenings.
In a statement signed by Olufemi Soneye, chief corporate communications officer of NNPC Ltd, the company plans to work with local health authorities and healthcare experts.
The campaign will bring screening services to approximately 3,000 individuals across the six geo-political zones, with centres in Kaduna, Rivers, Ondo, Benue, Imo, and Gombe,
It will focus on breast, cervical, and prostate cancers, aiming to provide critical early detection services for at-risk populations.
NNPC Foundation managing director Emmanuella Arukwe in the statement said:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) had raised the petrol price again.
This is the third time the national oil firm had increased petrol prices in the last 60 days.
The development came as Aliko Dangote, chairman of the Dangote Group, said that petrol was idle at his refinery without patronage.
