According to a report on The Guardian, the Federal Government of Nigeria may soon introduce an HIV/AIDS tax in order to “improve domestic funding for Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and prevent new infections especially from mother to child transmission.”

This is of course, in addition to international funding the country receives from international agencies to fight the disease. According to the Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), Prof. John Idoko, …”domestic funding needs to go up because we are seeing a shrinking up of donor funding.”

Now, with our dear country’s track record of “fund appropriation”, how do you feel about possibly having to pay an HIV/AIDS tax in Nigeria?

Them just dey waste their time. This should be the least of their priorities now.

If they include it in personal income tax, then we have no choice but to pay it tho i think its another avenue to embezzle funds.
