Society for Family Health (SFH); Promises to Supply more condoms to Nigerians at affordable price.



  Society for family health SFH have revealed that Nigerians use over 400 condoms annually.

  During the flex condom launch in Lagos, SFH’s managing director Bright Ekweremadu noted that the 400 condom consumption may still be far below the NGO’s estimation judging by the rate of unprotected sex in the country.

“We have been in the business of condom production for over 30 years. We have done a lot of things in educating people to embrace abstinence with our zip-up campaign. There are obviously sexually active Nigerians who may not totally abstain from sex and this led to our alternative, particularly at this time when HIV/AIDs is prevalent in the country,” he said.

Ekweremadu promised to make more condoms available to Nigerians at affordable price because they have been mandated to do so by donor agencies.


What we are doing now is expanding choices for the sexually active Nigerians who are using condoms. So we have varieties of condoms with different features to make sex worth it, for those who will use the condom. We are not promoting sex. What we are promoting is responsible sex. If you know you cannot abstain, the best thing is to use condom; it’s safe for you and your partner”, he said.
