Having lost some family members to the dangerous cancer disease, renowned Nigerian broadcaster, Bimbo Oloyede, has reeled out her plans to dedicate her 70th birthday to raising a minimum of N100 million in support of cancer patients in the country, and research works on the dreaded disease.
Towards achieving the set target, Mrs Oloyede said former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the former Secretary General of Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku, have volunteered to grace a gathering of family, friends and well-wishers where funds mobilised ahead of the day and those to be donated on that day will be publicly announced.
Mrs Oloyede, who will join the septuagenarian club on 15 March, said the event to be graced by both Messrs Obasanjo and Anyaoku, and aimed at climaxing the fundraising activities, will be hosted at Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos.
