Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has urged the federal government to sustain the policy which grants access to free healthcare to people living with albinism who suffer from skin cancer.   The policy was started in 2013 during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Chief Obasanjo who said he was alarmed by the rate at which albinos become affected with cancer, explained that it was the lack of knowledge and information about albinism that make albinos particularly vulnerable to the disease.
