In a renewed show of commitment to women’s health and wellbeing, SUNU Nigeria, comprising SUNU Assurances Nigeria Plc and SUNU Health Nigeria Limited has launched the second edition of its annual breast cancer awareness initiative, Pink October 2.0, offering free screenings to 150 women across Lagos.
The initiative, which will run from Monday, October 27 to Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Diamed Medical Centre, Lagos, marks a significant expansion from last year’s outreach, which provided free screenings for 100 women, representing a 50% increase in beneficiaries.
Speaking on the initiative, Mrs. Japari Yusuf, Head of Corporate Services at SUNU Nigeria, highlighted the company’s drive to make healthcare more accessible:
“SUNU Nigeria is pushing this initiative for the second year because we want to ensure more people benefit and help them stay ahead of their health. Early detection is critical, and we are proud to use our ability to make vital health services accessible to more women.”
Through this campaign, SUNU Nigeria is deepening its corporate social responsibility efforts by promoting early detection and timely intervention, crucial steps in reducing breast cancer mortality.
Mr. Samuel Olayemi, Brand and Corporate Communications Officer, emphasized the company’s integrated approach to health and insurance:
“As a provider of both insurance and healthcare services, our mission extends beyond policies and premiums. This Pink October 2.0 campaign is a clear demonstration of our long-term commitment to the communities we serve.
We are deeply interested in providing comprehensive wellness and insurance services that empower Nigerians to live healthier and more secure lives.”
SUNU Nigeria, part of the SUNU Group with a presence in 17 African countries, continues to champion women’s health through sustained advocacy and community-centered initiatives. The organization believes that long-term, consistent action remains key in the fight against breast cancer.
