Halima Nwakaego, the daughter-in-law of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has advised Nigerians especially mothers to test their domestic workers for HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and other diseases.
The mother of twin boys and Bashir El-Rufai‘s wife, offered the advice via her Instagram page after a nanny she recently hired tested positive to an undisclosed disease.
According to Halima, the nanny denied having the disease even after doctor’s confirmation. After pressing on the matter, the nanny admitted that she has had the disease for seven years.

“Good morning mamas, please test all your nannies and workers. Most especially if you have babies. Run these tests HIV, Hep, TB and many others. We recently got a nanny that knew she had one of these diseases and didn’t disclose it to us.
We tested her, came back positive and she was pretending like she didn’t know she had it. After pressing on the matter, she finally admitted that she’s had it for 7 years. Btw this isn’t the first nanny we are getting like this. So please, run these tests before hiring anyone. Be safe.”
