The competition supports youth mental health capacity building, which is intended to improve Nigerian youths’ mental health awareness and knowledge.

Dr. Jibril Abdulmalik, Founder and CEO, Asido Foundation, expressed optimism that mental health awareness will continue to grow.

He urged Nigerians to show empathy, love, and understanding towards individuals and families affected by mental health issues, despite the pervasive shame, stigma, and discrimination that exist in our society.

“Let us continue to support mental health awareness,” he stated.

The Asido Foundation honoured various dignitaries as Special Ambassadors for Mental Health at the event, which included Her Excellency, Chief Mrs. Ajibola Lawal, Senator (Dr) Ibrahim Y. Oloriegbe, Prof. Oye Gureje, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, Prof. Taiwo Lateef Sheikh, HRH Prof. Halidu Abubakar, Dr. Anthony Marinho, Professor Cheluchi Onyemelukwe, and Dr. Kolade Mosuro.

The JAME competition received an impressive number of entries from various tertiary institutions across all thirty-six Nigerian states. Almost 2000 entries were received, making the competition one of the largest of its kind in the country.

The top 15 entries will also benefit from a one-year mentorship program to help them become mental health advocates.
