The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has credited President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda with making cancer treatment accessible within Nigeria.
Idris made the remarks during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Enugu State, Mr. Peter Mbah, on Thursday in Enugu.
He noted that the Federal Government’s entire information structure had been brought to Enugu to observe and report on the progress being made under both Tinubu’s and Mbah’s administrations.
According to Idris, President Tinubu’s performance so far is so impressive that it gives the impression of a second-term presidency.
He praised Mbah’s contributions to Enugu State’s development, describing the state as “the heart of the South-East.”
“We have seen what the governor has done, from the policies and programmes of his predecessor.

“Also, we are here to show that President Tinubu is working and to see what his policies and programmes are achieving positively across the region.
“Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, in policies and programmes, has revolutionised the health sector that treatment of cancer can now be done here in Nigeria.
“There are six treatment facilities in the six zones of the country, including Enugu, with similar machines found in other parts of the world, and experts have been trained to handle them.
“So, anyone who wants to go out of the country to treat cancer is doing so based on choice, and not that we don’t have facilities and experts to treat the person.
“We must give credit to President Tinubu for the people he put in place to revamp the health sector.”
The minister also said the Tinubu administration had strengthened collaboration among security agencies, leading to noticeable improvements in national security.
However, he acknowledged that while progress had been made, more work was needed, adding that “the President would continue to do more for the country to address all the challenges.”
