‎*MEDIA ENGAGEMENT REPORT*
‎
‎Date: December 12, 2025
‎Social Media Dialogue
‎Topic: Drug Abuse – Mobilising the Community: Creating a Web of Support and Prevention (Part 3)
‎
‎The National Orientation Agency (NOA), Rivers State Directorate, held its weekly social media dialogue on December 12, 2025. The discussion focused on the activities of the inaugurated Committee Against Drug Abuse in Obio/Akpor LGA and the contributions of MADAV NGO in curbing drug abuse, as well as the ongoing impact of NOA’s sensitisation efforts across communities.
‎
‎Participants highlighted that rehabilitation for drug victims is costly, making it necessary for all stakeholders to work collaboratively to reduce the menace. The session also examined the roles of government, families, and the wider society in integrating programmes and initiatives aimed at preventing drug abuse.
‎
‎The dialogue further addressed factors contributing to moral decadence and explored ways to correct these issues. It was emphasized that government agencies should intensify efforts to reduce the accessibility of hard drugs, given the alarming and pandemic nature of drug abuse in society. The need for collective action to overcome challenges and build a healthier nation was strongly reiterated.
‎
‎Additionally, the challenges faced by the Obio/Akpor Committee Against Drug Abuse and MADAV NGO—including limited funding and security concerns—were discussed, noting how these constraints affect their ability to support affected individuals effectively.
‎
‎In conclusion, participants stressed that victims of drug abuse should not be stigmatized or abandoned. Instead, they should be shown love, acceptance, and support to aid their recovery. The Obio/Akpor Committee Against Drug Abuse was also clarified to be a friendly, non-forceful, and approachable body—not an arresting team. Citizens were encouraged to cooperate with them for the betterment of society.
