1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The year 2019 has recorded a significant
number of death through suicidal actions. The trend is one that cannot
be quickly disputed as it is ongoing. The demeaning aspect of suicide
attempt in the contemporary Nigeria is that it is carried out by youths.
The youths are supposed to be the least affected by suicide but reverse
is the case. In the tertiary institutions, the rate of suicide actions
is on the increase as records show that nothing has been done to curb
this action. Suicide is associated with a lot of negativity as it
traditionally depicts a bad omen and signifies weakness on the part of
the victim. The continuous increase of suicide by young people has
propelled this study to be considered as it examines the role of
guidance and counseling in curbing suicide.
