Over 150 Students Trained on Menstrual Hygiene by Medical Women Practitioners in Kogi

Over 150 students have benefitted from a comprehensive menstrual hygiene training organized by the Kogi State Chapter of the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (MWAN). The sensitization program, held at St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Lokoja, was part of activities marking the 2025 World Hygiene Day, themed “Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.”

The event aimed to raise awareness on menstrual hygiene management, combat stigma, and empower young girls with the knowledge and confidence to manage their periods safely and with dignity.

Speaking during the training session, Dr. Yetunde Owa, President of MWAN Kogi Chapter, emphasized the importance of collective action in creating a society where menstruation is not a barrier to girls’ education, self-esteem, and health.

“Maintaining proper menstrual hygiene is essential to overall well-being. Girls must ensure their underwear is clean during their menstrual cycle and avoid using unhygienic materials such as dirty rags or cloths,” Dr. Owa stated. “Menstruation is a natural biological process that signifies maturity. It should never be a source of shame or discrimination.”

She further advised students to stay calm during their periods and observe good hygiene practices such as proper disposal of sanitary pads and the use of clean, safe products.

“Using unclean materials during menstruation can expose girls to infections and long-term health complications,” she warned.

The session was moderated by Dr. Rebecca Enejo, Coordinator of the Young Doctors Forum (YDF), Kogi State, who also encouraged the students to break the silence around menstruation by speaking freely about it and seeking guidance when necessary.

In her keynote address, Dr. Kemi Ehalaiye reiterated the significance of menstrual hygiene, safe sanitary practices, and the need to debunk harmful myths and misconceptions associated with menstruation.

“Menstruation should not be seen as a taboo or a source of embarrassment. It is a normal and healthy part of growing up, and it is time we started treating it as such,” Dr. Ehalaiye said.
