The First Lady , Aisha Buhari , on Saturday announced plans to establish modern cancer screening centres in each of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

She explained that while one of the centres had been established in Kano State , the primary aim of the screening centres was to encourage women , especially those in rural areas to become aware of the disease and its debilitating effects.
