The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo Olu has  commended the dedication of the State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA) in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS in the state


Sanwo-Olu made this known while inspecting the LSACA booths as part of his activities during the closing ceremony of the Y2024 Trade Fair recently held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos


The Governor, who emphasised the commitment of the state government to the provisions of sustainable healthcare delivery for its residents, added that the state recognized the significance of maintaining good health for greater productivity.


Sanwo-Olu commended the high turnout of participants for the free HIV screening and counselling exercise, stressing that early detection is a crucial step for accessing quality care. He also noted that the initiative was aimed at increasing awareness and providing accessible healthcare services to enable more individuals to know their status and seek timely support if necessary.


While assuring that the present administration will not relent in putting in place strategies geared toward the provision of a sustainable healthcare system, the Governor urged residents to improve their health-seeking behaviours to remain healthy and productive members of society.


On her part, the Chief Executive Officer of LSACA, Dr. Folakemi Animashaun stated that the free screening exercise was aimed at creating awareness and providing preventative support to attendees and Exhibitors at the event as free HIV screening and Counselling service is one of the strategies deployed by the agency in reaching members of the community.


Dr. Animashaun explained further that the Trade FAIR attracted diverse groups of individuals, including entrepreneurs, business owners, and visitors, all of whom were eager to learn more about HIV and its impact on public health. 


In her words, "The positive response from participants reflects a growing commitment to health and preventative measures in the fight against HIV as the free screening initiative not only serves to increase awareness about HIV but also fosters responsible practices within the community to reduce the risk of transmission".


She further assured that the Agency will continue such initiatives in future events to promote health awareness and reduce the stigma associated with HIV testing, urging residents to take proactive steps towards taking care of their health.


Underscoring the significance of HIV testing for maintaining a healthy and productive life, Animashaun emphasised that the state is focused on improving access to healthcare services, increasing awareness campaigns, and has also expanded the availability of HIV testing and counselling centres across the state to curb the spread of the virus.


The CEO, however, commended the organisers of the trade fair for a successful event, which allowed greater community engagement and awareness as the trade fair served as a successful venue for not only showcasing businesses but also promoting health and wellness in the state.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members.
