The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) wrapped up its Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities with a symbolic ceremony at its head office on Friday, October 31, 2025.
The event marked the culmination of a month-long campaign aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer and encouraging regular screening among staff.
The ceremony highlighted the Fund’s commitment to fostering conversations around women’s health in the workplace.
Speaking at the gathering, Chief Executive Officer of MIIF, Justina Nelson, stressed the importance of vigilance and early detection.
“What you don’t know can hurt you,” she said, urging all staff to prioritize regular self-examinations and medical check-ups.
Throughout October, MIIF implemented several initiatives to educate and engage staff on breast cancer awareness.
These included the distribution of educational materials detailing key facts and preventive measures, as well as a special message from the Head of Human Resources and Administration, Ms. Rosetta Asmah, highlighting the importance of early detection and offering support to those affected.
A key component of the campaign was an informative webinar conducted in partnership with The Bank Hospital and led by Dr. Wisdom Effiong.
The session provided expert insights on breast cancer symptoms, treatment options, and lifestyle practices that can help reduce risk.
The initiative underscores MIIF’s broader commitment to employee well-being and corporate social responsibility, reflecting the Fund’s belief that a healthy workforce is essential for sustainable national development.
