A new report has shown that additional 564 million condoms are needed annually if Nigeria is to cover 90 per cent of its adult population.
The report, based on a survey, is titled ‘Condom accessibility and use in Nigeria’ and produced by NOIpolls, in partnership with the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (
NACA) and AIDS HealthCare Foundation (AHF).
The report was released to mark the International Condom Day (ICD), which is observed annually on February 13 through Valentine’s Day, February 14, to promote safer sex awareness, by encouraging people to use condoms.
In a statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, the Program Manager of AHF, Taofeek Adeleye, said a total of 1.15 billion condoms will help the country to achieve 90 per cent coverage.
