Youth, Health and Hashtags: The Power of Young Africans Artwork

Break it Down

Good healthcare is not only the absence of illness but the complete social, mental, and physical well-being of humans. Governments work to improve healthcare with tools often referred to as policies. But citizens barely engage with these or other important conversations that impact their lives. The Break it Down Podcast is here to close that gap by simplifying and breaking down these concepts and policies so you can engage meaningfully. You should listen if you are someone curious about understanding how things work and contributing to conversations that impact our lives.You can reach us via podcasts@nigeriahealthwatch.com

Youth, Health and Hashtags: The Power of Young Africans

May 16, 2025 • Nigeria Health Watch • Season 2 • Episode 6

Welcome to our #BreakitDownPodcast, where we unpack big ideas shaping the future of health, development, and social change, one conversation at a time.

In this episode, our Host and Director of Media Programmes, Chibuike Alagboso, sits with Rotimi Olawale, Executive Director of Youth Hub Africa, for a deeply insightful conversation.

Rotimi shares the personal journey that inspired him to start Youth Hub Africa and how the organisation is creating impact across the continent by focusing on youth development, particularly in education, sexual and reproductive health, harmful traditional practices like FGM, and governance.

He also discusses how innovation, policy, entertainment, and technology can be harnessed to solve public health challenges and create meaningful opportunities for young people.

🎧 Listen in to hear why putting youth in the driver’s seat is key to building a healthier, more inclusive Nigeria.
