The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has declared the Federal Government’s Oncology Centre in Enugu as world class, and a proof of commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to delivery life-changing health infrastructure to Nigerians.

The Minister stated while leading a high-powered delegation to inspect the newly established Oncology Centre in Enugu.

Commissioned only weeks ago by the Minister of Health and Finance, the facility houses one of the most advanced cancer treatment machines in the world – previously only accessible abroad or in Lagos.

He noted that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is making world-class healthcare a reality across the country, with six such centres planned nationwide – three already operational.

During the visit, the delegation met patients receiving treatment, including a woman who had previously travelled long distances for care but can now assess top-quality treatment in Enugu.

“This is democracy delivery tangible dividends. Our visit allows us to hear directly from citizens, see the impact for ourselves, and ensure these facilities are maintained for public benefit”, said Idris.
