Skin Cancer Rises In Kaduna

Albinism Association of Persons in Kaduna State chapter has raised alarm over rising cases of skin cancer from its members.

The Chairman of the association, Comrade Abubakar Adam, during an interview with journalists on Sunday in Kaduna said that skin cancer is a major threat to the lives of albinos.

He disclosed that recently skin cancer claimed three lives of its members, urging government and well-meaning Nigerians to come to their rescue.

“We lost three lives in Kaduna State recently, two in Kajuru local government and one in Zaria, all attributed to climate change-related issues, including skin cancer.

“People with albinism lack melanin in their skin, making them more susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer. We are witnessing an increase in skin-related illnesses.
