Ghana must tighten borders and strengthen families to fight drugs – Criminologist

A criminologist at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Jones Opoku-Ware, has called on Ghana to tighten border security, strengthen family values, and expand community support systems to tackle the country's growing drug problem.

Dr Opoku-Ware also called for sustained public education through schools and community campaigns to discourage drug abuse and promote healthy lifestyles.
