In 1991 he met an AIDS patient in Jos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, which changed his perception and views about the disease. A year after, he began to raise, train and empower Christian youths from different denominations to challenge the epidemic on personal, family, and immediate community grounds and to establish NGOs and CBOs in rural communities of the South-South region of Nigeria. He believes the solution of the epidemic lies with the Church.
