About the Campaign

The 'Say No, Say Yes' campaign is an initiative of the National Health Fellow (NHF) representing Bakassi LGA, Cross River State, Nigeria, committed to addressing drug abuse among young people through education, advocacy, and community-driven action.

Our mission is to empower Nigerian youth with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to make positive choices about drugs and substance use. By nurturing awareness and promoting healthy lifestyles, we aim to build a future where every young person can say No to drugs and Yes to life, purpose, and wellbeing.
