Between 2021 and 2023, the utilization of modern contraceptives in all 13 local government areas of Nasarawa State resulted in preventing approximately 4,213 unsafe abortions. Dr. Ibitoye Segun, the Senior Learning Advisor of the Society for Family Health (SFH), shared this achievement during a one-day Adolescents 360 mid-project dissemination training in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State. Moreover, it was revealed that this initiative helped avert 54 maternal deaths and 228 child deaths within the state.
This training focused on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) programming and was organized through a collaboration between the state Ministry of Health and Primary Health Care Development Agency (NSPHCDA) and SFH. The success can be attributed to the use of contraceptives under the A360 Amplify Project, which is being implemented in the state.

BLISTERING ATTACK: Adebayo Drops Massive Truth Bomb, Claims Government Views Every Nigerian’s Existence As A Total Nuisance!
