The Kano State Government has drawn up a five-year strategic development plan to control the spread of HIV/AIDS and improve the lives of people living with the virus within the state.

Dr Bashir Usman, Director General, Kano State Agency for the Control of AIDS, said this on Thursday in Kano when he received a delegation from Friends for Global Health Initiative (FGHIN), a Non Governmental Organisation.

“A comprehensive HIV Development Strategic Plan for five years (2017-2022) was drafted, and the agency is determined to make it possible and implementable within the life span,” he said.

According to Usman, the agency is ready to accommodate  all programmes aimed at controlling HIV/AIDS in the state.
