The Kwara State Government has intensified efforts to promote menstrual health awareness among adolescents by taking its sensitisation campaign to schools, with a special focus on students with special needs and other vulnerable groups across the state.
The initiative was part of activities marking the 2026 World Menstrual Hygiene Day and was aimed at improving access to menstrual health information while encouraging open conversations around menstruation among young people.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Press Secretary of the Kwara State Ministry of Health, Saad Hamdalat, the programme was organised by the ministry in collaboration with adolescent-friendly non-governmental organisations operating in the state.
The statement said the sensitisation was held at the Kwara State School for Special Needs and Government Day Secondary School, Fate-Basin, where students from different categories, including the deaf, the blind, individuals with intellectual disabilities and other vulnerable groups, participated in the exercise.
