The Founder of TLF, Janet Oyedele, made the assertion in an interview with Newsmen in Lagos, at a free blood donation exercise held at the Mechanic and Spare Parts Village, Agindingbi, Ikeja.
The free blood donation exercise was held to mark the 2021 World Leukaemia Day with the theme “Each One, Each Ten”, which is celebrated every 4 September.
The report also said that over 437,000 people across the world are diagnosed with leukemia each year, which is over 1,000 people every day.
Oyedele noted that more Nigerians would have loved to participate in the exercise but the economic hardship had made people not to be interested in such a life-saving exercise.
Oyedele called on private organisations to support life-saving exercise as they are supporting other reality shows.
