In commemoration of the International Day set apart to raise awareness against Drug Abuse, we were at Ijebu Muslim College in Ijebu Ode today.

We enlightened over 300 boys and girls of the Senior school on what drug abuse is, reasons why young people get into using drugs, the different types of drugs and the effects of using these drugs.

After the session, the students asked general and private questions that we responded to.

We will keep doing our bit to sensitize young folks on the need to shun drugs.

Many thanks to the volunteers that showed up.

Today, June 26th, is the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. This important day, also known as World Drug Day, is all about raising awareness of the serious problems drugs cause in our communities and promoting a world free from drug abuse.

For us at the Teen Boys Enlightenment Initiative, this is a crucial call to action! We know how vital it is to guide our young boys away from harmful paths. On this International Day, let's step up our efforts.

We urge all our dedicated volunteers to take the initiative to speak with teen boys in your circles, communities, and wherever you have influence. Share clear, simple messages about the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of making healthy choices. Let them know they have support and that a drug-free future is possible for everyone.

Your voice makes a difference! Let's empower our boys with knowledge and resilience against drug abuse.

Earlier today, in collaboration with the Teen Girls Enlightenment Initiative , the Teen Boys Enlightenment Initiative gave a talk at Ogbogbo Baptist Junior School, Ogbogbo.

The team got to the school around 8:00am

About 500 students were assembled in the school hall for the purpose of the Enlightenment talk. Dr. Adebusola Okedele started off by introducing the Team with a focus on what we do, as well as introducing each member of the team.

Dr. Okedele proceeded to enlighten the students on the dangers of being sexually exposed as teenagers, highlighting some sexually transmitted infections as well as the challenges that they will face if pregnancy occurs.

Pastor Michael Okedele admonished the students on the necessity of being studious and focused on their academics. He likewise talked on the dangers of living a truancy lifestyle for the students. He enumerated some of the dangers of smoking, being mental problems, probability of being exposed to cancer as well as possibility of dying young. He used Tobi Amusan as a motivation for the students to emulate and be dedicated and committed to having a successful future.

Mrs. Yemi Adams enlightened the students on basic sexual education tips and habits to keep them safe from falling prey to sexual molestation.

Ms. Olusola Fajoye encouraged the students to make use of all they learnt today and work towards becoming successful in the future.

The students appreciated the team wholeheartedly and expressed their gratitude for our coming.

In all, it was a worthwhile experience for the students and the team.
