The National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) has enjoined states to increase their HIV/AIDS media awareness campaign.

A statement from the agency yesterday said the Head of Public Relations and Protocol, NACA, Mrs Toyin Aderibigbe, made the call when she led a delegation on a visit to Lagos.

She said state-owned media in particular were key vehicles in delivering HIV prevention messages.

Mrs Aderibigbe told the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Kehinde Bamigbetan, that  the visit  was aimed at pleading with relevant authorities to partner with the state to ensure consistent HIV prevention messages saturates the public space.

Bamigbetan assured the advocacy team of Lagos State government’s commitment to ensure issues of HIV/AIDS are put in the front burner.
