<p>Dr. Auwalu Halilu, the technical adviser of the NGO, explained during the workshop that the initiative is designed to equip WADA marshals with the knowledge and tools to educate young people about the risks of drug abuse. “We are here to tell the children of the ills of drug abuse. It is better to catch them young, using storytelling and experience sharing to help them understand the dangers,” he said.</p>
<p>The workshop emphasized the importance of early intervention, highlighting how drug abuse can derail students’ education and future prospects. Participants were trained to use interactive methods to showcase the dangers of drug trafficking and substance misuse.</p>

<p>Executive Chairman of the Kano State Universal Basic Education Board, Yusuf Kabir Yusuf, also commended the program, stressing its relevance to primary and junior secondary education. “We are protecting the integrity and dignity of our students. If children are thrown into drug abuse, they cannot study, they cannot progress. That is why we are involving parents and village heads in this fight,” he said.</p>
