The District Chief Imam of Assin Juaso in the Assin Fosu Municipality, Ayeku Abdulai Tetteh, has urged Muslim youth to avoid associating with drug addicts, as such relationships can hinder their personal growth and development.
Speaking during the Ramadan celebration in Assin Juaso, Imam Tetteh emphasized that activities such as drug abuse not only pose a severe threat to their lives but also negatively impact their health and well-being.
He called on the youth to focus on positive endeavors that would contribute to their development and enhance their roles in society.
Imam Tetteh further encouraged the youth to explore avenues that would enable them to become better individuals and productive members of the community.
“The youth, they’re our future, so during our fasting, it was able to stop them from this situation. We pray that God should help them not to go back to their old deeds, and when they face such situations again, it will not help them or the nation.
“We’re pleading with them that they should do away with this drug addiction and not just ‘Wonim Red,’ but any drug that will not help them,” he advised.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Imam of Assin Juaso, Nayeem Mutawakilu, also urged the youth to prioritize their education, stressing that a solid educational foundation is key to their success in life.
He highlighted that education opens doors to opportunities and empowers individuals to make informed choices for a better future.
