The National Youth Authority (NYA), under Chief Executive Officer Osman Ayariga, staged a breast cancer screening event at its forecourt on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Staff members filled the line, and community residents joined the exercise, extending the initiative’s reach beyond the institution.
The exercise was part of NYA’s broader effort to promote preventive healthcare and highlight the importance of early detection. By offering free checks, the Authority aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer and encourage regular screening among its workforce and the surrounding population.
Participants noted the collective effort needed to improve health outcomes, with the NYA stressing that early detection can improve treatment success. The event also underscored the role public institutions can play in supporting health education and preventive initiatives.
Moving forward, NYA plans to continue similar outreach programmes, reinforcing its commitment to fostering healthier communities through proactive health measures.
