The award was presented to him during a courtesy visit by a team led by UNAIDS Country Director and Representative for Nigeria, Leopold Zekeng.

“Lagos State has always been at the forefront in the war against HIV/AIDS. We are constantly sensitizing our citizens on prevention through safe sex, and the use of sterilized equipments in their day to day lives.

“And for citizens who are already carriers of the virus, we also educate them on living a long and fulfilled life after infection.

“Being positive should not mean the end of their lives, as long as they take their medications, and lead a healthy lifestyle, they can live, work and interact with non carriers of the virus,” the governor said.
