NACOC educates 450 Koforidua SHS students on dangers of drug abuse

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has educated about 450 first-year students of Ghana Senior High School in Koforidua on the dangers of substance abuse and its effects on their health, academic performance and social development.

Ms Ankrah urged the students to remain focused on their studies and resist negative peer pressure that could lead them into substance abuse, undermine their academic performance and affect their social development.

Teachers who attended the programme were urged to support efforts to prevent substance abuse by identifying early signs of drug-related behaviour among students and helping those who may be at risk.
