I have decided to use my media reach, my media experience , along with my skills as a teacher to reach children in schools , who in turn will reach their parents, advocating for the PREVENTION of cervical cancer in Nigeria and indeed Africa . So my answer to the question why cervical cancer? Because cervical cancer is one cancer that can truly be eradicated by prevention!
