The Nigeria Solidarity Support Fund (NSSF) has unveiled its WeNaija 2024 Contest – A creative platform for youth advocacy on drug abuse.
According to a statement signed by Dr Fejiro Chinye-Nwoko, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, NSSF, the campaign is an initiative designed to engage Nigerian youths in addressing critical health issues through creative expression.
According to her, the WeNaija campaign, now in its fourth edition, with the theme: “Voice Your Change,” focused on the rising concern of drug abuse in urban areas, a growing issue that continued to affect many young Nigerians and their communities.
She emphasised that the WeNaija Contest invites young Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 35 years, to creatively express their experiences and ideas on tackling drug abuse through video storytelling, with contesters expected to submit a short video (1-2 minutes) centered around the theme, ‘Voice Your Change.’
According to Chinye-Nwoko, winners will receive prizes worth N10 million and recognition at the WeNaija YouthFest in November.
