Drug abuse by young people is a major worry for the country. This problem needs a steady effort from everyone involved.
Government, families, schools, and communities all have a role to play. Young people themselves are also key to solving this issue.
The Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment spoke about the growing concern. He stressed that speeches and one-time enforcement are not enough.
Data shows that a significant number of drug users in Ghana started before they were 15 years old. This highlights the need for early intervention.
The minister called for a sustained response to tackle the root causes of drug abuse.
This issue affects the future of the nation. A united approach is necessary to protect the youth.
