Polaris Bank Celebrates C.O.P.E.’s 30 Years

The Care Organisation Public Enlightenment (C.O.P.E.) recently celebrated 30 years of dedicated service in breast cancer awareness, early detection, and support for survivors with a special event held in Lagos. The gathering drew healthcare professionals, survivors, donors, and corporate partners, with Polaris Bank, a long-time supporter, serving as the lead sponsor.

Emeritus Professor Osato Osagie, Chairman of C.O.P.E.’s Board of Trustees, shared reflections on the organisation’s journey. He recalled meeting the founder, Mrs Ebunola Anozie, describing her as a visionary and determined leader whose efforts have reshaped breast health advocacy in Nigeria. He highlighted significant progress in breast cancer survival over the past decade, crediting early detection programs and consistent public education. He also announced that C.O.P.E. now provides breast supplements for women who have undergone mastectomies, helping them regain confidence and comfort at the C.O.P.E. Centre.

Looking forward, Professor Osagie revealed plans to establish a permanent C.O.P.E. facility, featuring a screening unit, conference hall, and residential accommodation for women undergoing treatment or recovering, which would expand the organisation’s capacity to serve those in need.

Mrs Ebunola Anozie, C.O.P.E.’s founder and CEO, recounted how personal loss inspired the organisation, transforming grief into a national mission. She explained that what began as a modest awareness campaign in 1995 has grown into a movement that has educated millions and provided life-saving screenings to thousands of women. She emphasized the need for a permanent home where women could access comprehensive care, expressing gratitude to Polaris Bank and other partners whose support has sustained C.O.P.E. through changing economic climates.

A moving highlight of the evening was the testimony of Mrs Agatha Obi, a breast cancer survivor who discovered C.O.P.E. during her treatment. Diagnosed in 2011 and told she needed a mastectomy, she described the news as devastating. However, she credited C.O.P.E. with giving her courage, community, and hope. Thirteen years later, she stands healthy and thriving, praising the organisation for its unwavering support.

Representing Polaris Bank Managing Director Kayode Lawal, Mrs Bukola Oluyadi delivered a goodwill message reaffirming the bank’s commitment to C.O.P.E.’s cause. She applauded the organisation for its compassion, resilience, and transformative impact over three decades. Oluyadi highlighted that Polaris Bank remains devoted to advancing breast cancer awareness, early detection, and patient care. She commended the C.O.P.E. team for its enduring dedication to public education and healthcare access, promising continued partnership to support initiatives that empower women, strengthen families, and improve communities.

C.O.P.E.’s 30-year milestone underscores the critical importance of sustained advocacy, education, and care in the fight against breast cancer, serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration for women across Nigeria.
