In a bold step to support the fight against the scourge of cancer, ace broadcaster Bimbo Oloyede plans to raise N100 million for cancer treatment as well as research and development. This was revealed during a media conference held on Thursday in Lagos at the International Press Centre, Ogba, where Oloyede also announced plans to celebrate her seventieth birthday on March 15, 2023.
Speaking to the media via a hybrid online and physical platform, Oloyede stated that the goal of raising N100 million is personal to her and her family because they have been victims of cancer in the past, both winning and losing the fight.
