We’re back with another powerful session of “Let’s Talk About the C Word” and this time, we’re opening up the conversation on prostate cancer with an inspiring guest speaker and thriver, Mr. Dayo Fagbero.
Our special guest speaker, Dayo Fagbenro, retired from the FAO of the UN in 2023 following 22 years service as Oracle E-Business Suite Specialist, is happily married and blessed with 4 children.
