The Reality Facing Nigerian Youth

Mental Health Crisis

  adults.
• •   Suicide is a leading cause of death among young Nigerians (ages 15–34), with reports indicating that 50%
  of cases occur within this demographic. (Socialist workers League)
• •   Economic instability, social pressure, and uncertain futures are placing enormous psychological strain on
  students and young adults.

Sexual & Reproductive Health Challenges

• •   Nigeria continues to face a significant HIV burden, with 20,838 new infections recorded in the first quarter
  of 2026 alone, with Lagos and Benue among the most affected states. (The Guardian Nigeria)
• •   Adolescent girls and young women remain disproportionately affected by HIV and reproductive health
  risks. (GITNUX)
• •   Nigeria also has one of the highest maternal mortality rates globally, with about 576 deaths per 100,000 live
  births. (UNICEF)

Why Universities Matter

• •   Nigeria has one of the youngest populations in the world, with a huge proportion under 25.
• •   Universities are where young adults make critical decisions about identity, relationships, sexuality, career,
  and mental wellbeing.
• •   If we want to shape Nigeria’s future, we must meet young people where they are, on campus.
