Speaking on the side-lines of the workshop event themed; Improving Adolescent and Young People’s Access to rights-based, Inclusive and gender-sensitive SRHR services, chief researcher, Nigeria Medical Research, Dr. Adeshola Z. Musa emphasized the critical role SRHR plays in improving health and wellbeing by addressing issues like child marriage, where young girls are not mentally prepared to start families.

She added that Nigeria faces significant challenges, including high maternal mortality rates at 512 per 100,000 births, limited access to contraception often hindered by lack of support from husbands, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS.

She urged the Community Based Organization (CBOs) to implement programmes, informed policies to reduce the prevalence of sexual reproductive infections by generating data that will help inform the community members on the increase of high rate of infection, unsafe abortions and maternal mortality in the country.

She lamented that the major challenges of the SRHR programme is funding, discrimination and sociocultural beliefs that affect sexual reproductive health in the country.
