ZANZIBAR MINISTER WARNS STUDENTS AGAINST DRUG ABUSE



Zanzibar. The Minister for Home Affairs, Engineer Hamad Masauni, has issued a stern warning to students at all educational levels, urging them to refrain from drug abuse, citing the loss of the nation's workforce due to the adverse effects of drugs.

Speaking at a public meeting, Minister Masauni highlighted, "Research indicates that the drug abuse crisis has now infiltrated schools, colleges, and other educational institutions. Some students, even those with degrees, have succumbed to drug addiction. This issue threatens the nation's vitality and workforce."

Reports have emerged that some addicts are turning to human medicinal drugs as substitutes for illicit drugs. Specifically, users are crushing Methamphetamine tablets, heating the powder on a spoon with a candle flame, and inhaling the resulting smoke.

The minister's address underscores the urgent need for collective efforts to combat drug abuse and safeguard the future of Zanzibar's youth.
