FAAN HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign (5)
------------------------------------

This posting is in response to that from Dr. O.O. Ovadje
(12/27/04)


I do not recall that anyone so far has called for the blacklist-
ing of Mr. Ben Nnabue from AFRO-NETS. To me, there is a lot more
troubling in his posting than his title. The statement quoted
below as to how HIV/AIDS came into Nigeria for example, is abso-
lutely untrue.

Mr. Ben Nnabue wrote and I quote:
"The question at this point is how did HIV/AIDS come into this
country Nigeria? Through visitors of course, either by air, sea
or land, but most of the time by air, that is why we are concen-
trating on the International Airports in our country to create
awareness to suit the international standard."

If this statement is not troubling to Dr. Ovadje, I wonder what
else would.

I hold the view that the statement brings the name of a Federal
Agency like FAAN into disrepute as it undeservedly maligns in-
bound travellers to Nigeria.
