"Child marriage and peer pressure are fueling teenage pregnancy in Nigeria".

Let's relive this beautiful moment!!

During a pivotal stakeholders’ meeting on the 27th of July 2025, in Osogbo, the Osun State Government reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining the remarkable improvements in family planning uptake achieved through a collaboration with The Challenge Initiative - TCI. Over 76,008 men and women have benefitted from these services over the past three years.

As The Challenge Initiative gradually transitions out, Osun is shifting toward full self-reliance, taking full ownership of its reproductive health programs and positioning family planning as a sustainable government-led priority.

(Lagos):

🔥 Tradition vs. Science in family planning, can they really coexist?
: Dr. Ajoke called for integrating both methods but warned of the risks.
She emphasized the need for a culturally sensitive approach that balances modern medicine with existing community practices, ensuring more families benefit from safe and sustainable FP options.
