The Nigerian Business Coalition against AIDS named him co-chair, a private-sector initiative that helps eradicate HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and support people living with the condition.

The Director General of NACA, Dr Gambo Aliyu, said, “It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Dr. Wigwe,

who left behind a legacy of dedication and leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

“His contributions to the HIV/AIDS cause were invaluable, and his absence will be deeply felt.
