To help raise awareness on breast cancer, she founded the Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria (BRECAN).
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State celebrated the former governor’s 68th birthday by recalling many of the achievements recorded in the state.
It said the achievements included creation of security network code-named ‘Amotekun’ to protect residents of the state from invaders, aggressive drive for industrialisation of the state, first dualised road in Akoko land, besides bringing down Oke Alabojuto that had caused accidents in the past years, among many others.
The late Akeredolu died on December 27, 2023 after months of battle with prostate cancer.
