A professor at Igbinedion University, Okada, Dominic Osayande Osaghae, says Nigeria has the highest concentration of sickle cell disease sufferers in the world.
He said this at the institution yesterday while delivering a lecture on “The Roadblocks on the Highway to Survival of Children: The Interventions of a Paediatrician.”
He said: “There are four million sufferers and 47.5 million carriers of Sickle Cell Disorders in Nigeria which has placed it as the country with the highest concentration of victims of Sickle Cell Disease in the world,”
He urged the federal government to establish a sickle cell control programme to manage the 47.5 percent carriers of the disease in the country.
