Burutai added that every day, 33 new cervical cancer cases and 22 deaths are recorded in Nigeria due to this disease, making it the second most common cancer among women in Nigeria and the fourth most frequent deadly disease in women globally.


Burutai emphasized the importance of preventative measures and commended the author of ‘NADAMA’ for her effort sensitizing people on cervical cancer and other health issues. 


He urged Nigerians, especially parents, women, and youths, to read the book, which is written in a dramatic and intriguing style that keeps the reader in suspense.


In his remarks Chief Medical Director of the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Professor Ahmed Ahidjo, noted that the cost of managing cancer is very expensive, and that prevention is the best approach. 


He praised the book for providing education and enlightenment, and hoped that it would help reduce the prevalence of cervical cancer in northern Nigeria.


Also speaking, the Chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Zikrullah Kunle Hassan, who also  was also the chief host, praised the book, saying it captures how cervical cancer can be eliminated as a public health problem.


The Author of the 'NADAMA' Hajiya Fatima Usara expressed her gratitude to those who attended the event, as she acknowledged the late Dr. Mardiya Zayyan for encouraging her to write the book and attributed it to her as a charity for imparting knowledge on her.


She expressed her hope that the book will help protect women from the painful death of cervical cancer and encouraged other women to join her in the fight against cervical cancer.
