Students Targeted in Campaign Against Drug Abuse

{{Students have been urged to foster the fight against drugs including the trade and use of illicit brew and narcotics, a crime rated top on the crime list in Rwanda.}}

According to available data, Youths constitute a large number of drug dealers and abusers thus a major challenge in preventing future leaders from getting ruined by the scourge.

Police is currently leading the campaign to drive the youth towards a right direction and as potential Rwandans who will drive further the country’s development agenda.

Superintendent Christophe Semuhungu, the Eastern Region Spokesperson reiterated the need for students to watch their colleagues.

He said, students will be “doing good” for their colleagues, who will be helped to do away with such illegal acts and focus on their better future.

But he also believes parents have a crucial role to play to prevent their children from indulging in such criminal acts.

“Parents should make it a routine to teach their children the dangers of drug abuse. But the problem is that there are some parents, who rarely talk to their children and they (children) grow up doing whatever they deem good for them, good or bad,” he reiterated.
