Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has urged parents to take decisive actions in protecting their children from the dangers of drug abuse and other social vices.
Speaking at the annual Maulud celebration hosted by Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq Dangaske at Bachirawa quarters in Ungogo Local Government Area on Friday night, the Deputy Governor emphasized the critical role of parents in addressing the growing threat of drug use among youths.
“The menace of drug abuse and social vices is deeply affecting our society, and it is our collective duty to protect our younger generation from these dangers,” he said. “Parents must lead this fight by closely monitoring their children’s activities and teaching them the values of discipline and responsibility.”
He also called on Islamic scholars to integrate anti-drug abuse messages into their sermons, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts in tackling the issue.
“I am appealing to our ulamas to always preach against the use of drugs among the people,” Gwarzo added. “Our society’s future depends on the moral and social upbringing of the youth, and we cannot afford to fail them.”
