In a major policy shift, the Nigerian government has announced that it will significantly increase funding for mental health services. This move comes as part of a broader effort to address the mental health needs of the population, which have long been neglected in the country. The increased funding will be used to hire additional mental health professionals, improve the infrastructure of mental health facilities, and increase awareness about the importance of mental health care. This is seen as a positive step forward in addressing the significant mental health challenges facing Nigeria.
