IWO CORPS MEMBERS SENSITIZE STUDENTS ON DRUG ABUSE

The corps members from the Drug Free Community Development Service (CDS) group of Iwo Local Government have sensitized the students of Iwo High School on drug abuse and their corresponding effects.

The sensitization came up as a result of the menace of drug abuse in the society, specifically among the youths. Members of the group urged the students to avoid drug abuse as it can mar their future.

They enlightened them on the background information about the processes and production of both the medicinal and hard drugs, hence alerting them on the side effects of the two. The CDS group further emphasized that the effects of drug abuse often accompany mental, psychological and behavioral changes.

Prior to this, the team employed a strategic method by using banner which was tagged “DRUGS DRAG YOU DOWN” for effective communication. They also shared resources that will enhance  the knowledge of the students on the negative effects of drug abuse.

In the meantime, the CDS group complemented the movement by donating exercise books to the pupils as a developmental project that will motivate them to study, thus becoming future leaders.
