To check this development in Ekiti state, teenagers and adolescents were recently advised against the use of psychoactive substances.

The youths were also counselled on the dangers associated with cyber fraud and other social vices.

Drug abuse, addictions and trafficking has become a global challenge, cutting across socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and ethnic boundaries.
