Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos state, whose birthday wis on June 14th has appealed to well wishers not to waste money on newspaper adverts but they should rather channel the funds for such, to the Mobile Cancer center fund.

According to the governor come June 14th, he will be participating in a #GivingTuesday event, an initiative founded by the United Nations in 2012 as a global way of engendering and celebrating philanthropy pioneered by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP-Nigeria), a group in the forefront of the war against cancer.

Ambode on that day would raise more awareness towards the quest to raise funds for a Mobile Cancer Centre in Lagos.

#GivingTuesday is observed worldwide, supported by business, political & social leaders who jointly champion fund-raising for development.
