Ben Murray-Bruce a former senator in the 9th Assembly has advised the Federal Government to distribute free Condoms to Nigerians.
The ex senator noted that in other to curtail the surge in the country’s population amidst the hardship, it’s important that the FG, through the ministry of health, distribute contraceptives to Nigerians.
Bruce said, “In light of the deepening economic challenges that Nigeria faces, which have gravely impacted the middle class and exacerbated poverty levels, it is imperative for the incoming Minister of Health or the federal government to launch a free condom distribution initiative immediately.
“Ensuring accessibility to contraceptives is a crucial step in mitigating a potential population explosion, particularly when the financially constrained majority may prioritise basic necessities over family planning methods. An ounce of prevention now can avert a looming socio-economic catastrophe in the future.” The ex senator noted.
