Dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

I am compelled to address a critical issue of national significance—the establishment of Nigeria’s inaugural Ministry of Men Affairs. This initiative is not merely an administrative reform but a fundamental step towards rectifying the persistent neglect of men’s unique challenges within our society.

Men in Nigeria are grappling with a host of severe and often overlooked issues. They are victims of violence, including domestic abuse and assault, which remains starkly underreported due to entrenched societal stigmas. Men also endure alarmingly high rates of depression and suicide, exacerbated by societal expectations and a conspicuous lack of targeted support.

Economic instability further aggravates these challenges, with many men deprived of crucial opportunities for skill development and economic empowerment.
