Trust me when I say this, youth involvement in drug abuse, and the inevitable path it charts toward crime, is not just rising; it is alarming.

We are staring at a quiet crisis that threatens the future of our nation’s workforce, our economic stability, and our social fabric.

What we are witnessing is not just a youth problem; it is a national emergency that demands urgent, collective action.

The responsibility cannot be left to law enforcement alone. We need a holistic and sustained national campaign that brings together parents, schools, religious institutions, corporate entities, and government agencies to address this menace from all fronts.

Parents must become more present, listening, guiding, and monitoring with love. Home must once again become the first school of discipline and values.

Schools must go beyond academic training to include robust life skills, mental health education, and early warning systems.

Religious bodies must step up moral guidance, outreach, and create safe spaces for struggling youth.

Corporate organizations must invest in social impact programs that mentor, empower, and create real opportunities for young people.

Government agencies must enforce stricter regulations on drug availability, strengthen rehabilitation programs, and lead coordinated nationwide sensitization campaigns.

This is not about pointing fingers; it’s about joining hands. If we fail to act now, we are not just losing a generation, we are crippling the future of our country.

Let us rise together. Let us fight for the minds and hearts of our youth. Because the cost of inaction is far too high.
