The conquer and breakthrough of Ndi Anambra in vast domains of human success have continued to gather more weight as each success story unfolds.
Just recently, Alban Anonyuo, received the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Heroes Award in Abuja.

Alban Nnanna Menkiti Anonyuo, who hails from Umuelemehi village, Ubahuekwem, Ihiala, in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, was one out of the ten recipients of the highest and first-ever organized award event in the history of HIV and AIDS in Nigeria.

The award titled the “US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, PEPFAR, Heroes Award” was presented to Mr. Anonyuo on Monday, 10th of June, 2019 by Mr. Stuart Symington, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of PEPFAR in Nigeria.

Mr. Anonyuo, who is the Chief Executing Officer of Renewed Initiative against Diseases and Poverty, RENAGAIDS, was honoured with the award for his significant contributions to the national response against HIV/AIDS, an action that goes deeper in his involvement at the national and international level in the response against the menace of the disease.

Expressing his opinion on the award, Mr. Anonyuo said he believed that, with the recognition, he has left his footprint in the sands of time and made indelible marks in his nineteen years of operating strategically and technically in different areas of HIV/AIDS response both in Nigeria and across the world.

He said his provision of free consultancy services to the Anambra State Agency for the Control of AIDS (ANSACA) and other monumental struggles which have attracted multi-million naira HIV/AIDS projects over the years to Anambra State would take a renewed proportion given the motivation the award has given to his strives.

He, however, expressed concern about what he called the unenviable prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Anambra State which sits on nine point seven percent and occupying the third position in the country as at 2014, one point two percent for general population in 2015 and noted that much more worrisome is the most recent two point four percent which is well above the national prevalence of one point four percent for general population, occupying the first position in South East and fifth position in the country according to the National AIDS Impact and Indicator Survey, NAIIS 2018.
