The governor stated that young people easily
gave in to sex due to financial inducement, peer pressure and influence of
international movies and believed that with the use of condom they were secure
from HIV, which in most cases was not full-proof protection against the
pandemic.
According to the governor, “when people use
condom, they think they are safe which is the major cause of infection because
evidence abound that the use of condom does not provide total protection
against HIV/AIDS since the condom itself has small holes that are 0.05 wider
than microbes, which makes HIV virus to pass successfully.”

State Action Committee Against AIDS, SACA, said the state had 164,267 persons
(108,000 females; 61,827 males) living positively with the virus.
