The City Boys Movement, Anambra State chapter, a youth-driven support group for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027, has sensitised female students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, on menstrual hygiene and distributed hundreds of sanitary pads to students of the institution.
The distribution took place at the main auditorium of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, UNIZIK Awka campus, on Friday, as part of activities to commemorate the 2026 World Menstrual Hygiene Day.
Speaking during the exercise, the Anambra State Women Leader of the City Boys Movement, Adaora Soludo, said the gesture is aimed at empowering young women and promoting menstrual health awareness, with the goal of eradicating period poverty and supporting girls’ education.
Adaora Soludo, who is also the Founder of the Gloria Foundation, explained that the World Menstrual Hygiene Day commemoration is designed to address the challenges of menstruation, including stigmatisation and harmful practices some vulnerable female students face during their menstrual period on campuses.
