In my line of work, I noticed that women and girls are faced with high burden of HIV/AIDs and unplanned pregnancies. I realized that these issues are as a result of lack of role models, poor self-esteem and lack of access to sexual and reproductive health information and supplies. So, I use the social media platform to disseminate accurate information on methods of contraceptives and proper use and how to access them
The online campaign reached 79% young women aged 15-35 years.
I successfully coordinated training of 1000 family planning providers, and improve up take of modern contraceptives.
I feel concerned about children who are denied basic life provisions like shelter, food, healthcare and education—especially when they are born to an adolescent, who doesn’t know how to help them.
Family planning is a solution to many of the world’s challenges. It gives one the opportunity to improve, invest in oneself either through formal or informal education.
As the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Youth Caucus co-chair, working to enhance access to reproductive products in LMICs. During the 4th Nigeria Family Planning conference, as a member of youth sub-planning committee, I worked to ensure the success of the youth pre-conference and still working to ensure implementation of the outcome of the conference for youth family planning advocacy in-country.
I have already drafted a proposal to reach tertiary institution students with information on contraceptives through sporting activities.
This proposal is aimed to reduce unwanted pregnancies among young women and help to keep them focused to their studies.
Because of the restriction for safe abortion in Nigeria, the best intervention for this demography is accurate information on available methods, and access which is yet to be achieved.
