ABEOKUTA-Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advocated tax incentives for wealthy Nigerians so as to contribute to the fund meant to wage war against cancer.
Obasanjo stated this in Abeokuta, Saturday while delivering a paper at a special fund raising for the establishment of cancer awareness and diagnostic center.
Obasanjo said the call became necessary in view of the fact contained in a medical report that Nigeria would be having 21 million new cases of cancer with an attendant effect of 13 million deaths by year 2030.Obasanjo
The former president, who spoke on the topic: “Philanthropy and Ethics; a Lesson from History”, specifically mentioned building, running and adequate maintenance of a cancer awareness and diagnostic center.
He appealed to people of goodwill across the country to support what he described as “a worthy and commendable venture” .
While how the Federal Government could assist in the war against cancer, Obasanjo said the Federal Government of Nigeria could reach out to rich Nigerians who are yet to identify with the war against cancer disease in order to encourage them to do so.
“I believe in the last ten years or so we have started getting Nigerians who had made money or that fortune had smiled on them and they have tried to show philanthropic gestures, people like Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia and Sir Kensington Adebutu among others”.
“Those that are doing, let us encourage them while those that are not doing, let us give them incentives to do it. The best thing of course is that they can deduct whatever they give as deductible from tax offices which we can by setting up a foundation and ask the ministry of finance to give you a tax relief on whatever you do”.
He further emphasised that cancer diagnosis and treatments in most countries all over the world, have largely been supported by philanthropic organisations and charity since government alone cannot bear the burden of funding such treatments.
Obasanjo however, commended notable Africans such as Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Sir Keshington Adebutu, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia as well as Strive Masiyiwa among others whose the philanthropic contributions in the war against cancer in Nigeria and Africa are of no small measure.
Earlier, President of Primus Torchbearers, Sir Soji Amusan had in his welcome address, stated that his organisation decided to establish the cancer awareness and diagnostic center as a way of providing an avenue for the less privileged to be educated on what to do as well as to have access to medical facilities for early detection of the dreaded cancer disease.

Abuja – The 21 freed Chibok Girls say on Sunday in Abuja that for "one month and 10 days'' of their abduction by the Boko Haram insurgents they stayed without food in the bush.
Ms Gloria Dame, one of the rescued girls, narrated this while giving testimony on behalf of her colleaques at a thanks giving service organised for them at a DSS health facility in Abuja.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Jummai Alhassan, attended the service.
The girl, who spoke in Hausa language, said that their survival in captivity was an act of God.
"I did not know that a day like this will come that we will be dancing and giving thanks to God among people.
"For one month and 10 days we stayed without food. I narrowly escaped bomb blast in the forest.Pictures of 21 released Chibok Girls with their parents
"We are praying to God to touch the heart of Boko Haram to repent and we are calling on Nigerians to pray and fast for the release of our remaining ones in captivity,'' she said.
while the service was going on, the parents of the freed girls arrived the venue and were reunited with their loved ones after over two years of their abduction.
With the arrival of the parents the environment was charged with emotion and tears of joy.
NAN reports that the parents took turn to address the congregation and thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and all Nigerians for their efforts and prayers towards the rescue of their daughters.
The Chairman of Chibok Local Government Council, Mr Yaga Yarakawa, said the release of the girls was "historic'' and the Chibok community at home and in the Diaspora were happy about the development.
Yarakawa said contrary to views of some Nigerians, the 21 freed girls were the actual Chibok Secondary School girls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
"Before their abduction, I was involved in supervising their feeding which was organised by the Borno State Secondary Schools Feeding System. So I know them very well.
"These are the real girls and you can see when their parents came, you see their joy, it manifest naturally. "This is enough to tell you that it is a reality and anybody who say different things or doubting, may be the person has a different agenda altogether,'' he said.
Yarakawa appealed to the government to put all necessary machinery in place to ensure the release of the other girls. Speaking in same vein, Mr Yakubu Nkaki, the Chairman of Abducted Chibok Girls' Parents Association, thanked the President for the release of the girls.
He said from the physical looks of the girls it was obvious that they were not radicalised as claimed by some people. He also debunked the claim that many of the girls were pregnant.

The Lagos State Government at the weekend said it would commence total upgrade of schools in the State, especially in the slum areas, as well as evolve a robust Youth and Senior Citizens' Policy by January 2017.
Rising from an intensive three-day retreat for members of the State Executive Council and legislators from the Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly, held at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, with the theme, "Good Governance In A Recession", the State Government said there was need to upgrade the quality of schools through training and re-training of teachers, as well as improving the infrastructure.

Asaba – Chief Chigbogu Nwobodo, the Chairman, Ogbeogonogo Market Traders Association, Asaba, has decried the influx of sick beggars to the market and appealed to the State Government to curb the menace.
Nwobodo said in Asaba on Sunday that the presence of the beggars in the market constituted an eye saw and health hazard to traders and buyers.
He said that it was improper for sick persons to be allowed to troop into public places, especially markets, adding that the practice has become common but had serious health implications.
The chairman said the association was handicapped to salvage the situation because any move to drive them could be interpreted to be wickedness on the part of the traders.
"Even in hospitals, some sick persons are kept in separate wards because of the nature of their ailments.
"The essence of quarantining some patients is to ensure the disease is not transferred to other people.
"Here in Ogbeogonogo market, people with all kinds of health challenges roam about, begging for alms.
"This is very dangerous for traders and even those that come to buy things, including the house helps of top government officials.
"People can easily contract diseases here now if nothing urgent is done. Government should device a means to salvage this situation.
"Times are hard but the relations of these beggars should also help the society by assisting them out of public places," he urged.
What could have been a bloody showdown between policemen and soldiers in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state, was quickly nipped in the bud on Saturday.
Police
A witness told newsmen that the incident occurred at No. 1 Water Works road Abakaliki.
"Trouble started when a police patrol team on road check, requested for the identity cards and vehicle particulars of army officers from the Nkwagu military cantonment.
"The soldiers rode a tinted Toyota Camry car with registration number BWR 886 AE and a black Toyota Jeep with the inscription of 'Bride' used to convey a newly wed couple.
"The soldiers who were on their uniforms except one personnel, told the police team they were returning from a wedding and felt embarrassed by their request for the documents.
"At this point, one of the police officers stopped the soldiers from passing and the latter angrily fired sporadically into the air," he said.
According to the witness, who is a security agent, the police officers called the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) on phone and immediately they stormed the scene, one of them slapped a soldier.
"The clash subsequently ensued and the police who had the upper hand, took some of the soldiers to the command's headquarters while confiscating their rifles.
"The soldiers who escaped from the scene, rushed to the cantonment and on their way, allegedly attacked some policemen near the cantonment and held them hostage," the security agent told NAN.
The eye witness also noted that one of the police officers held by the soldiers was released and he quickly rushed to the command to report that some officers were being held at the cantonment.
"This development almost affected the peace moves made by both security agencies but the situation eventually normalised following intervention by top echelon of both agencies," it added.
The Ebonyi Police Command has confirmed the clash between its officers and soldiers from the Nigerian Army Cantonment, Nkwagu near Abakaliki on Saturday evening.
DSP George Okafor, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, disclosed this to newsmen on Sunday, saying that the matter has been resolved amicably.
According to him, the clash was unfortunate and efforts have been made by the two agencies to forestall such occurrences in future.
"The matter has been peacefully resolved and we urge the public not to panic over the development but be assured of their safety at all times," he said.
Okafor, who declined further comments on the issue, also failed to confirm whether police officers involved in the clash sustained injuries.

Rome -Pope Francis on Sunday canonized six men and a woman, including a child martyr from Mexico and a "gaucho priest" from Argentina - in a mass at St Peter's Square, Rome.
They all "fought the fight of faith and love," said Francis in a Sunday mass before tens of thousands of worshippers.
Among the new saints is Jose Sanchez del Rio, a Mexican-born boy, who at 14 was tortured and executed in 1928.
He was executed for refusing to renounce Catholicism under the anti-clerical policies of the Calles Government.
Pope Francis salutes
Also canonized is the Dominican priest Jose Gabriel del Rosario Brochero, who, according to Vatican Radio, is a favourite of the current pope.
Known during his lifetime as the "gaucho priest," Brochero crossed the mountains of Argentina on a mule, helping country people by building churches, schools, roads and water infrastructure.
Rounding out the new saints were also two Italians, two French nationals and a Spaniard.

The Football Association of Thailand on Sunday said it will meet clubs to explain its decision to scrap the season with three matches to go following the death of revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The king died on Thursday aged 88, sparking anguish among an adoring public and a prolonged official mourning period that will see all forms of entertainment — including sports events — “toned down” as a mark of respect.
The FAT swiftly cancelled the remainder of the season and said league rankings on October 14 will determine the champions and relegation candidates.
Meanwhile, cup finals will be decided by a draw.
But that sparked complaints from relegated clubs — including Thai Premier League outfits Chainat Hornbill FC and Army United — with a fighting chance of league survival with three rounds to go.
They were handed a lifeline when the FAT said it would meet them following complaints.
“The FAT invites football clubs’ chairmen, representatives and sponsors to hear the explanation,” over the decision on October 17, the body said in statement on its Facebook page.
Chainat and Army United have complained at their “unfair relegation with three matches and nine points to play for,” according to leading daily newspaper Siam Sport.
Both were on 30 points as of October 14, with five other clubs mathematically able to slip into the drop zone.
At the top, league big boys SCG Muangthong United were gifted the TPL title, although they were just five points ahead of second placed Bangkok United.
An international friendly with Iran on November has been cancelled, while Thailand wants to shift a November 15 home World Cup qualifier to Australia.
Osun State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt.Hon Najeem Salaam has tasked government to focus more on grassroots in its quest to banish poverty and fast tracked accelerated development .
The Assembly made the call in a statement signed by the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye to mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
The day for the eradication of poverty has been observed every year since 1993 when the United Nations General Assembly by resolution 47/196 of December 22, 1992 designated October 17 to promote eradication of poverty and destitution in all countries.
The Lawmakers noted that the greatest challenge of the 21st Century is inequality, a situation that had seen the world fortunes concentrated in the hands of few individual and communities.
Identifying rural urban migration, neglect of agriculture, poor agricultural practises, non utilisation of available technology, lack of energy and appetite for foreign consumption, mono-economy, policy inconsistencies as parts of factors responsible for unabating poverty in the land, the lawmakers called for new mindsets among the populace.
"the idea of handouts from governments, white collared jobs should be jettisoned for out of the box ideas "
While calling for inclusion of science in agricultural practises in rural areas, opening up of farm roads and massive production of electricity and other infrastructure to drive the economy, the parliament said conscious actions and policies to help bail out communities should be implemented.
"communities should be provided with essential basic infrastructure, by increasing the rural population’s access to potable water, basic health care, education among others"
Acknowledging the initiatives of the Federal Government to address recession, Osun Assembly pointed that with effective monitoring, projects such as NPower, and other poverty alleviations initiatives as well youths in technology programmes will bring great succor to the famished citizenry.
Also, emphasizing the need for intervention in small scale industry, empowerment of peasants' farmers, Artisans and market women, the assembly stressed that redirection of education orientation to favour entrepreneurship skills and pursuit will springboard the economy out of the doldrum.
It also identifies access to quality healthcare, basic education, improve level of literacy among adults, school attendance, local capacity-building and strengthening of civil based organisations and NGO's as vital components in addressing poverty in the country.
"with the commitment of the leadership to accountability and best practises, continuous fight against corruption, change in the approach of doing government business, the yearning of global community to reduce poverty will be a reality in the country" the assembly submitted
Osun Assembly affirmed that improvement in the quality of public administration and service delivery in rural areas through effective people’s participation in decision-making processes would go a long way to bring relief to the citizenry.
The parliament, which also acknowledged the government of Osun state for its rounded and policies in favour of the populace pointed that the approach in-spite of prevailing financial straight had helped to stabilize the polity.
“Government and other stakeholders must adopt innovative approaches at both the macro and micro level for highly efficient community development and capacity building for rural dwellers."
The assembly assured that it was committed to passage of bills that will create conducive environment for business and investors to thrive
Hot favourite Riyad Mahrez of Algeria was among 30 nominees named Saturday for the 2016 African Player of the Year football award.
The winger, who is equally efficient at scoring and creating goals, was a key figure for sensational 2015-2016 English Premier League (EPL) title winners Leicester City.
His efforts were acknowledged by fellow professionals in the most watched domestic football league in the world when they voted him EPL Players’ Player of the Year.
Mahrez has been equally impressive for Algeria, who have been consistently among the top ranked African football nations for several years.
So good has been his form on the right side of midfield that long-time Algerian football icon Sofiane Feghouli cannot always made the starting line-up for the Desert Foxes.
It would be a shock if Mahrez, who joined Leicester two years ago from French outfit Le Havre, is not named African Player of the Year in Abuja on January 5.
The Algerian is one of three Leicester stars in the running for the top African football individual award — the others are compatriot and striker Islam Slimani and Nigeria winger Ahmed Musa.
EPL footballers dominate the 30-star list with 12 included, three come from the Italian Serie A, two each from the Spanish La Liga and French Ligue 1 and one from the German Bundesliga.
CAF media, development and technical committee members, journalists and TV consultants and national coaches or national technical directors are involved in the selection process.
The lone nominee from the Bundesliga, Gabon and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, was a controversial 2015 winner. Riyad Mahrez
Ivory Coast and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, who was seeking a record-extending fifth consecutive award, publicly criticised the choice of the Gabon goal-poacher.
Toure dismissed the outstanding form of Aubameyang for Dortmund in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, saying 2015 Africa Cup of Nations performances should have been prioritised.
He was part of the Ivory Coast team that won the African showpiece for the first time in 23 years, ending a decade of under-achievement by a self-styled ‘golden generation’.
Toure has been sidelined amid a war of words between his agent and new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and was not nominated.
Three Ivorians made the list — veteran winger Gervinho, centre-back Eric Bailly and controversial Paris Saint-Germain right-back Serge Aurier.
The defender is being investigated by world body FIFA for making a throat-slitting gesture after creating a goal for Ivory Coast in a World Cup victory over Mali last weekend.
But Mali coach Alain Giresse has hailed Aurier, saying he “saved the life” of opponent Moussa Doumbia by preventing him swallowing his tongue after being knocked unconscious.
Tanzania striker Mbwana Samatta, winner of the 2015 Africa-based Player of the Year award, is not among the nominees for that category as he now plays in Belgium.
Among those who could succeed him are Uganda goalkeeper Dennis Onyango and Zimbabwe striker Khama Billiat from CAF Champions League finalists Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa.
African football body CAF released Saturday the lists of nominees for the two major annual individual awards, the African Player of the Year and the Africa-based Player of the Year:
African Player of the Year
(30 nominees)
Algeria: Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City/ENG), Islam Slimani (Leicester City/ENG), El Arabi Hillel Soudani (Dinamo Zagreb/CRO)
Cameroon: Samuel Eto'o (Antalyaspor/TUR), Benjamin Mounkandjo(Lorient/FRA)
Democratic Republic of Congo: Cedric Bakambu (Villareal/ESP), Yannick Bolasie (Everton/ENG)
Egypt: Mohamed El Neny (Arsenal/ENG), Mohamed Salah (Roma/ITA)
Tunisia: Hamza Lahmar, Aymen Mathlouthi (both Etoile Sahel)
Zambia: Rainford Kalaba (TP Mazembe/COD), Jackson Mwanza (ZESCO Utd)
Zimbabwe: Khama Billiat (Mamelodi Sundowns/RSA)
