The Fate of CiSCANEN After Elijah Elijah: A Legacy at a Crossroads

CiSCANEN, a coalition of civil society organizations dedicated to cancer advocacy across Nigeria, has long been a beacon of hope for countless patients and families. Founded by the late Elijah Elijah, the network thrived under his leadership, bringing together passionate individuals and organizations committed to combating cancer. However, since his passing, the network has faced unprecedented challenges under the leadership of his wife, Nike, whose tenure as National Coordinator has been marred by controversy and instability.


Following Elijah Elijah’s demise, Nike was entrusted with the responsibility of leading CiSCANEN, a decision meant to provide continuity and stability. Instead, her leadership has been characterized by an apparent lack of engagement, failure to convene physical meetings, and discord with state coordinators. The absence of strategic direction has left many questioning whether she truly understands or values the organization’s mission.

A key turning point was the contentious decision to dissolve all state executives, a move that blindsided many leaders and raised concerns about her authority. Critics argue that her unilateral decision lacked constitutional backing and disregarded the governance structure painstakingly built by her late husband. Did she consult the Board of Trustees (BOT) before making such a drastic move? What legal or ethical foundation supports her actions? These are pressing questions demanding answers.

CiSCANEN was never about personal gain or power struggles - it was built on passion, selflessness, and a commitment to saving lives. If Nike's leadership continues on this trajectory, the very foundation of the network could crumble. Those with the power to intervene must act swiftly to prevent the collapse of a vital organization. The time to save CiSCANEN is now before Elijah Elijah’s legacy is lost forever.
