Former African Presidents, under the aegis of Champions for an AIDS-Free Generation in Africa, yesterday said over 3.4 per cent of Nigerians are currently living with the dreaded HIV/AIDS. The percentage put forward by the ex- presidents, means about 5.7 million of Nigeria’s 170 million are currently infected with the virus.
The figures were revealed by both the former President of Botswana, Festus Mogae and ex- Vice President of Uganda, Speciosa Wandira, when they paid a courtesy call on the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki.
