The Country Programme Director of AHF Nigeria, Dr Echey Ijezie said the visit was to look at how the eight pillars of the National Digital Economy Policy will address the challenges of young people in the digital world.
“Youths are empowered with the appropriate knowledge, skills of assertiveness, and understanding for them to feel the perils and all issues that might arise as they grow older in society. Comprehensive sexuality education is important as long as it is age appropriate and comprehensive to empower the youths and make them understand what the facts are and live a fulfilled life that is risk-free.
“This is the main advocacy and we are looking at different platforms to disseminate this information that will form parts of the conversation, education for the youths to be enlightened. Many of them need to be informed about some of the things that they hear and see. So, we are trying to make sure that the information given to them is appropriate, correct and useful to them,’’ he said.
Also, the Advocacy and Marketing Manager, AHF Nigeria, Steve Aborisade highlighted the need to equip youth with the appropriate knowledge to make informed decisions about their reproductive and health rights. Aborisade said AHF stresses the importance of equipping the youth with knowledge and skills to navigate online actions safely, understand their rights and make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
