A not-for-profit organisation, BewiAfrica, has sensitised youths in Fadeyi and Ojuelegba areas of Lagos State on devastating effects of drugs to their health and future as part of activities to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
Founder of BewiAfrica, Ms Florence Hungbo, said the body decided to enlighten youths, especially college students, who have become entrenched in substance abuse without minding its effects.
She said: “We visited the youths and leaders in Fadeyi and Ojuelegba with some entertainers and therapists to lecture the youth on dangers of drug abuse, harping on its adverse effect on how it kills dreams and derail a bright future.” (Guardian)
