“This season, we have partnered with Unitaid, the Global Innovation Fund, and Paramount to address issues on gender-based violence, COVID-19 vaccine confidence, women’s empowerment, and modern contraception, as well as generate demand for the HIV self-testing kits now available in Nigeria,” stated Anita Adesiyan, Country Manager, MTV Staying Alive Foundation.
“True to our ethos of promoting safer lifestyle choices and advocating against harmful cultural practises through entertaining drama, the new MTV Shuga Naija season will give our viewers a broader perspective on everyday issues that affect young people as they try to find their place in the world,” Adesiyan added.
