Experts at the 4th Vanguard Mental Health Summit in Lagos emphasized that Nigeria cannot afford to fail its young population, calling for urgent and coordinated action on youth mental health.

The experts urged government, health professionals, schools, families, religious institutions, media, and technology platforms to share responsibility and ensure policies translate into measurable results.
