🚨 DAY 3 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN

Nutrition funds should save lives — not disappear without accountability.

Citizens deserve to know:
✅ How much is allocated
✅ When funds are released
✅ Where the money goes
✅ The impact these investments are making in communities

[SUN Civil Society Youth Network Nigeria @SUNYouthNetNig]

Nutrition is a right, not a choice. Yet, millions of Nigerian children and vulnerable communities continue to suffer because nutrition policies are not legally enforced at the state level.

We urge lawmakers across all states to:
✅ Domesticate national nutrition policies

[SUN Civil Society Youth Network Nigeria @SUNYouthNetNig]

🚨 DAY 2 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN 🚨

Approving nutrition budgets is important, but approval alone cannot save lives. Funds meant for nutrition interventions must be released promptly to ensure vulnerable children and communities receive the support they urgently need.

📢LAUNCHING TODAY: 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN ON NUTRITION

Millions of Nigerian children are still suffering from malnutrition, stunted growth, poor learning outcomes, and preventable illnesses because nutrition is not receiving the attention and funding it deserves.

Communities remain trapped when victims defend those who exploited them. Accountability is the first step toward real development

[Abuja Politico @abujapolitico_]

For decades, Nigeria’s approach to drug use has largely been punitive—focused on arrests, incarceration, and punishment. Yet the evidence is mounting: criminalization alone doesn’t reduce drug use or improve public safety.

Evidence Based Drug Policy: A Compassionate Approach To Public Health and Social Justice https://t.co/z8XzZhPquJ @YouthRISE_NG

[Huzaifa Abubakar @uzaifa100]

We need a humane, health-based drug policy—one that prioritizes treatment, not jail.

Criminalization has failed. Let’s adopt cost-effective, rights-based solutions that treat people with dignity.

[Huzaifa Abubakar @uzaifa100]

Over 14 million Nigerians use drugs, and 376,000 inject—facing high risks of HIV & hepatitis. Yet only 1 in 8 who need treatment gets help.

Nigeria’s current drug policy focuses on punishment, not care fueling stigma, prison overcrowding & fear.

@ComradeApdoul @MSIngawa Haba comrade 😀 that's not up to minimum wage

[Huzaifa Abubakar @uzaifa100]

Never lower your standard of living to meet your income.

Instead, increase your income to meet your standard of living.

[YouthRISE Nigeria @YouthRISE_NG]

Fresh perspectives from @uzaifa100:
Punitive drug policies drain resources without addressing the problem of drug abuse.
He says "Harm Reduction approach saves lives and reduces societal cost."

Alhamdulillah for the gift of life! Ya Allah, make my remaining days to be the best of my life and my grave to be better🙏
