Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr Ipalibo Harry Banigo, says Rivers State is gradually achieving epidemic control of HIV/ AID.
Banigo stated this in a release from the Government House in Port Harcourt last Monday in commemoration of the year 2020 World AIDs Day celebration.
According to Banigo, Governor Wike who is the Epidemic Control Surge Champion for Rivers State had demonstrated great passion and commitment in the quest to mitigate the spread of the virus in the State, noting that he was the first Governor in the country to abolish user fees for People Living with HIV/AIDS.
Banigo further said “because of the Governor’s magnanimity our patients are doing very well and the issues of stigmatization of people living with HIV is reducing significantly”.
Dr. Banigo also said the strategy of community testing and identification of positive cases into the neighbouring treatment facilities which is described as Sexual Network Tracing (SNT), had yielded great dividends.
The Deputy Governor urged citizens to take responsibility to remain healthy, stressing that the State Government has the political will and commitment to ensure the Rivers People enjoy quality health care delivery that is comparable to the best in the world.
It would be recalled that the 1st of December each year has been set aside to celebrate World AID Day. The Theme for this year’s celebration is “Ending the HIV/ AIDS Epidemic: Resilience and Impact”.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
