Covenant University Hold Successful Prostate Cancer Awareness and Free Screening Event in Ota

Covenant University’s CApIC-ACE, in collaboration with the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Centre (CApTC) and Beulah World Initiative, successfully hosted a Prostate Cancer Awareness and Free Screening event at the Ota Local Government Headquarters. The initiative aimed to provide free prostate health screenings and raise awareness about prostate cancer, particularly among men in the local community.

The event had a significant impact, with numerous men—fathers, husbands, uncles, and grandfathers—taking advantage of the free screenings to assess their prostate health status. Participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to access this critical health service, which is often overlooked until advanced stages of the disease.

In a show of support and collaboration, the event organizers paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Ota Local Government before the event commenced. The partnership with local authorities was instrumental in ensuring the success and broad reach of the awareness campaign.

The initiative underscored the importance of early detection and proactive health management, with the event drawing praise for its community-focused impact and contribution to men’s health. Covenant University, CApTC, and Beulah World Initiative continue to demonstrate their commitment to promoting public health and well-being.

The event's success was celebrated as a significant step in reducing prostate cancer risks and fostering a healthier future for men in the Ota community.
