Challenges of Nigeria Adolescents
Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by significant physical and psychological changes that impact future life outcomes. The school environment plays a crucial role in shaping adolescents, yet it can also exacerbate challenges such as emotional problems, substance abuse, and bullying. Teachers can support adolescents by fostering connections, open communication, and a supportive atmosphere, ultimately aiding in their development. Addressing these challenges collaboratively with policymakers is essential for the well-being of this age groupAdolescence is a period of development that begins with the onset of puberty and ends when an individual reaches adulthood.

Adolescent health is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of public health in Nigeria. In Nigeria, the health status of adolescents has been a growing concern, as this population faces a range of health challenges including poor sexual behaviour, high rates of sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse, mental health problems, and malnutrition. Poor adolescent health can lead to long-term consequences for both individuals and society. This study examines the factors affecting adolescent health in Nigeria, including cultural and social factors, economic factors, and environmental factors. It also explores various strategies for addressing adolescent health, including government policies and programs, community-based programs, school-based programs, and private-sector initiatives. The study highlights the importance of investing in adolescent health, as it not only has significant health benefits but also social and economic benefits. Improving adolescent health outcomes can lead to a healthier and more productive adult population, reducing the burden of disease and improving the country's economic growth. The study also emphasizes the need for a multi-sectoral approach to addressing adolescent health in Nigeria, involving stakeholders from the government, healthcare providers, educators, and the community.
This study underscores the urgent need for Nigeria to prioritize adolescent health and implement evidence-based strategies to improve health outcomes. With effective interventions and investments in adolescent health, Nigeria can build a healthier, more prosperous future for its youth and the country as a whole. School-based programs are one of the strategies that have been employed to address adolescent health in Nigeria. Private sector organizations, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and corporate organizations, can provide funding, expertise, and resources to support adolescent health programs and services.
