The Federal Government says it will partner with the Kwara state Government and other stakeholders to promote adolescents health issues in Nigeria.

Mrs Justina Young, the Representative of the Federal Ministry of Health, stated this on Tuesday during a meeting with stakeholders on adolescent Health and Development in Nigeria at the Ministry of Health in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.

Young said the aim of holding the stakeholder's meeting is to highlight and also strategise on the minimum package of services and standards for Adolescent Healthcare services in Nigeria.

She said that adolescent health has become a priority on the global agenda in addressing their rights and needs.

"The government and the necessary stakeholders will be mobilising its collective expertise and technical capacity to ensure adolescent health is addressed in this country.

"There is need to implement this Global Strategy, and we will continue to advocate for evidence-informed reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health programmes at all levels. Beyond health itself, investments are needed in other domains crucial for an adolescent to survive, thrive and transform his or her society," she said.

In her Address, the Executive Secretary, Kwara State Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Abimbola Folorunso noted that adolescents have been marginalised for a while in area of healthcare issues.
