LAGOS, NIGERIA – October 25, 2025: Over 300 participants, including staff of Access Holdings Plc, joined forces on Saturday for the “United Steps Against Cancer” walk – a powerful show of solidarity in the fight against breast cancer, a disease that continues to affect millions of lives globally.
The awareness walk, organized as part of Access Holdings’ corporate social responsibility initiative, aimed to promote early detection, regular screening, and public education on breast cancer prevention.
Participants, adorned in pink outfits and ribbons, took to the streets to advocate hope, courage, and collective responsibility in battling the disease.

Access Holdings emphasized that fighting cancer is not just a medical challenge but a shared societal mission – one that begins with awareness, compassion, and consistent action.
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Group hosted a 6-kilometre walk to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and remind everyone that the fight against breast cancer begins with information, compassion, and action. This was a statement that Access cares and stands with survivors.
At the end of the morning, participants gathered for health talks and free breast cancer screenings practical steps that turned advocacy into impact.
By the end of the day, about 50 women had been screened, several receiving guidance for follow-up care. Each test represented a story, a mother, sister, or friend choosing knowledge over fear.

Health, alongside education, environment, and entrepreneurship, remains one of the Group’s core sustainability pillars, because a healthy society is the foundation on which progress is built.
The walk was filled with laughter, shared stories, and moments of reflection, reminders that compassion is strongest when practiced together.
Employees showed up, walking side by side with colleagues, friends, and families, proof that collective strength lies not only in our numbers, but in unity of purpose.
More Than an Event
The day was not about medals or finish lines. It was about movement with meaning, a demonstration that small actions, taken together, can ripple outward to touch countless lives.
As October comes to an end Access Holdings remains committed to using its platform to spread awareness, promote early detection, and support those affected by breast cancer.
