As the Founder and President of Breast without Spot Cancer/NCD NGO, she has successfully implemented programs to address the challenges faced by individuals with cancer.

Even during her medical student days, her fascination with cancer led her to actively engage in the Medical Women Association of Nigeria. Her dedication and passion for the cause propelled her to assume the presidency of the association in Anambra/Enugu State in 2002. During her two-year tenure, she established the esteemed “Well Women” center as a MWAN screening facility, which remains operational to this day at No 27 Abakiliki road, Enugu.

In 2008, she took a significant step forward by establishing Breast without Spot (BWS), a non-profit organization dedicated to implementing strategies aimed at eradicating late detection of cancer and other non-communicable diseases. Within this capacity, she has spearheaded initiatives encompassing health education, screening, vaccination, training, and research.

Her unwavering commitment to improving cancer care and her extensive experience in the field make her a valuable asset in the pursuit of a world free from the burdens of late cancer detection.

Furthermore, as part of her efforts with BWS, she introduced the groundbreaking International Cancer Week in Nigeria (ICW), which has now become an annual national event supported by the Federal Ministry of Health Cancer Control unit. This event serves as a platform for raising awareness and promoting cancer prevention and treatment in the country.

In 2015, she pioneered the annual “Nation-Wide Go Pink Day” in Nigeria, earning her the nickname “the Pinky Prof”. This event has become a powerful symbol of solidarity and support for those affected by breast cancer.

In collaboration with other stakeholders, she tirelessly advocated for the establishment of the Cancer Health Fund (CHF) by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The CHF was specifically created to assist indigent cancer patients in covering their medical expenses. Additionally, she played a crucial role in the establishment of the Nigerian Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT), further strengthening the country’s capacity for cancer prevention and treatment.

Through her leadership in these initiatives, she actively engaged in community, national, and institutional efforts for cancer control. Her dedication and expertise led her to represent the Nigerian government as a delegate to the United Nations High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). It was during this meeting that she led BWS in collecting the highest number of signatures worldwide, contributing to the declaration of NCDs as a global priority in 2011.

Her tireless efforts and impactful contributions have not only made crucial advancements in cancer control in Nigeria but have also positioned her as a respected figure both nationally and internationally in the fight against cancer and non-communicable diseases.

In 2006, she took another significant step in her commitment to improving healthcare in Nigeria by founding the Association for Good Clinical Practice in Nigeria (AGCPN). Through AGCPN, she initiated a Pan-African Clinical Trial Initiative called the African Clinical Trial Consortium (ACTC). This initiative aimed to promote high-quality clinical research and enhance collaboration among African countries in the field of clinical trials.

Her expertise and dedication also led her to serve as a technical advisor to numerous national and global organizations. This included chairing the Nigerian Clinical Trial Technical Working Group established by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) from 2015. This role allowed her to contribute to the development of guidelines and regulations for clinical trials in Nigeria, ensuring ethical practices and patient safety.

At the first stakeholder meeting of AGCPN, held at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Abuja in October 2006, a wide range of influential stakeholders were present. Notable attendees included the Director of Research from the Federal Ministry of Health, representatives from the office of the Senate President, Chairman of both the Senate Committee on Health and the House Committee on Health, directors general of NAFDAC, NIPRD, NIMR, and NACA, representatives from the Nigerian Army, Ministry of Health of South Africa, international experts, and representatives from multiple tertiary health institutions. During this meeting, they made several recommendations to the Federal Ministry of Health, including the creation of a National Ethics Committee.

AGCPN, fueled by the strength of these recommendations, published its first publication titled “Promoting Health Research Capacity in Nigeria.” The publication was launched by Professor Ifeoma Okoye at the Association of Nigerian Physicians in America (ANPA) meeting in Newark, USA in 2007, where she was the Nwankwo Memorial Guest Lecturer. This publication served as a valuable resource in promoting ethical research practices and enhancing research capacity in Nigeria.

Through her initiatives with AGCPN and her influential contributions to the field of clinical trials, she has played a pivotal role in advancing health research capacity in Nigeria and promoting ethical practices in clinical trials. Her passion and dedication continue to have a significant impact on healthcare development in the country.

As the convener of the Nigerian Clinical Trial Summits, African Clinical Trial Summits, and the African Clinical Trial Consortium (ACTC), she has been instrumental in creating platforms for collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of clinical trials.

Under the umbrella of AGCPN, she introduced the Nigerian Clinical Trial Summits in 2012, which continued until 2016. These summits provided a space for stakeholders to discuss and address the challenges and opportunities in clinical trials in Nigeria. Recognizing the need to broaden the scope and impact of these summits, they evolved into a Pan-African platform, leading to the 1st and 2nd All Africa Clinical Trial Summits. The inaugural summit took place in Lagos in 2017, followed by the second summit in Capetown, South Africa, in 2019.

During these summits, it became evident that African stakeholders were passionate about transforming Africa from passive recipients of innovations to active creators, producers, and exporters of affordable healthcare products. An important strategy discussed was the need to mentor African nations in establishing clinical trial units as a means to enhance clinical trial volume and research capacity. Recognizing the potential of this solution, she secured a six-month sponsorship from Phillips to develop a replicable model across Africa.

Believing that charity starts at home, she led advocacy efforts to the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria (UNN) during the tenure of VC Emeritus Professor Chuma Ozumba, to establish a model clinical trial unit. This led to the creation of the University of Nigeria Centre of Excellence for Clinical Trials (UNNCECT). Under her leadership, UNNCECT operates under the mentorship of the Clinical Research Center and Innovation at the University of Cape Town (CRC-UCT) and receives support from the Healthy Sunrise Foundation based in the USA.

Through her various initiatives and collaborations, she continues to drive innovation and capacity building in clinical trials not only in Nigeria but across the African continent. Her work is transforming Africa into a leading hub for clinical research and fostering self-sufficiency in healthcare innovation.

She utilized the enhanced skills and experiential exposure gained to increase my involvement in Residency Training. She took on the role of a mentor, providing guidance and orientation to new residents, helping them prepare for exams, and supervising their dissertations. In order to create an environment conducive to scholarly pursuits alongside clinical duties, she focused on upgrading the library and lecture room at the new UNTH site. Additionally, she established Consultant Units and designated Unit Days/Research Days for each unit, encouraging research and academic activities.

As the Editor of The West African Journal of Radiology, which held the distinction of being the only Radiology Journal in Sub-Saharan Africa and the second in the entire African region for several years, she prioritised nurturing a culture of research among her mentees in the field of Radiology. She encouraged them to present their research findings at conferences and publish scholarly scientific papers that underwent rigorous peer-review processes. Recognizing the value of international exposure, she also mentored them in utilizing their resources to attend prestigious conferences such as those organized by the West African College of Surgeons and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

She consistently emphasized the importance of not only excelling as clinical Radiologists but also actively engaging in research endeavors. To instill this mindset, she assigned us various tasks relating to her own research topics, sparking our interest and igniting a passion for research. As a result, many of us have achieved significant milestones in our careers, with several becoming Professors, Reader/Associate Professors, and Senior Lecturers, actively involved in training and research endeavors both within Nigeria and abroad. We owe these achievements to the expert guidance and mentorship provided by Prof Ifeoma Okoye. She not only encouraged us to conduct research but also motivated us to present our findings at conferences, thereby facilitating knowledge-sharing and enhancing our professional growth.
