There is a time & place for everything. Yesterday, it was time to pause. Reflect. Renew. Connect. @UNFPANigeria Open Day themed “Creative Disruption For Wellbeing” could not have come at a better time.

In case you missed this….. Traditional leaders in #Ebonyi 🇳🇬 are taking a stand to End #FGM! Amachi & Enyiagba communities in came together to publicly declare their commitment to abandon FGM and protect the #rights, #health, #dignity & future of girls and women. With FGM prevalence at 38.5%, this is a step in the right direction but more, much more still needs to be done. @UN_Nigeria delivering as one

“Because of you, we now have a safe, friendly place where our health and dignity matter” Yesterday, @UNFPA #Nigeria opened an Adolescent and Youth Friendly Center at #Kwara State University Hospital. Addressing current gaps in access to quality health services for young people calls for innovative approaches and #partnerships. Spending time with and listening to the young people was such a meaningful way of commemorating #IYD2026. Thank you @followKWSG, @EUinNigeria & @RHHF_NG for investing in adolescent and youth health.

#DidYouKnow population data helps decide where new hospitals and schools get built? Behind every essential public facility is a census ensuring resources go where needed. It’s how we build more equal communities. See how @UNFPA counts every voice: unf.pa/cen

On the margins of the 10th Nigeria–#EU Business Forum, I had the pleasure of connecting with partners in the health sector. #Nigeria offers fertile ground for #local production, #telehealth, #innovative solutions. @UNFPANigeria has been supporting local production of dignity kits used in humanitarian response. Proud of our partner Royal Heritage Health Foundation, a true pioneer!

#DidYouKnow: In 2025, @UNFPA remained the world’s largest provider of contraceptives. Family planning is central to women’s empowerment and gender equality, and a key factor in reducing poverty. See our full impact: unf.pa/ar25 #UNFPAEB #GlobalGoals

Young people are not the leaders of tomorrow. They are already leaders of TODAY. In #PapuaNewGuinea, youth are the architects of peace, as they build the world they want. 🎥 Hear @unfpachief on what we can achieve when young people are in the driver’s seat of change.

Community Midwifery Scholarship and Bonding Scheme launched in #Sokoto 🇳🇬 Yet another milestone under the #EU funded Reproductive and Adolescent Health joint project. The leadership of Governor of Sokoto State, backed by the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, the Grand Khadi and community members sent a clear message of the importance of investing in #midwives. Together, with partners, 1,500 nurses and midwives have been recruited for underserved rural communities as part of efforts to strengthen the state's health workforce and improve healthcare. #health4all #midwivessavelives
