2025 Batch B Stream II corps members deployed to Rivers state have been told to make a choice between not getting involved in drug abuse and live a healthy, meaningful, and productive life, or to “engage in drug abuse and destroy their life and a glorious future ahead of them.”

Rivers State NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Moses Oleghe, presented the options to them on Saturday  during the War Against Drug rally, an offshoot of a 2-day sensitization lecture against drug abuse delivered to corps members by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Blueprint reports that the lecture is designed to awaken the consciousness of corps members on the dangers of indulging  in drug abuse.

He charged them to “love their life, family and loved ones” by resisting every temptation and attraction to indulge in drug abuse, describing such it as “utterly satanic and deadly.”

Mr. Oleghe concluded by pleading with the corps members to be “vanguards against drug abuse” in their places of primary assignment in the communities where they will serve as well as make “intentional commitment to “return the investment made on them by their family and loved ones.”

In his lecture, the Head of NDLEA on camp, ASN Edoghotu Faith, decried the devastating menace of drug abuse on the youths and advised them not to indulge in it, especially when they consider themselves as privileged and educated graduate youths.”
