Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola urged children to stay away from drug abuse, violence and other vices that can destroy their future and progress.
Fashola spoke yesterday when he addressed children at the Police
College Ground as part of activities marking this year’s Children’s Day
celebration.
He said it was important for children to desist from drug abuse,
bad friends and sundry crimes that would be inimical to nation-building.
He said: “I urged you to stay away from all vices that can
destroy your future. I want you to stay away from drug abuse, ignore bad
friends who might want to introduce you to cultism, stay away from violence and
bad gangs. But rather, you can join social and voluntary clubs such as Boys
Brigade, Girls Guide and Sheriff Guard among others that have been created for
you to mould your future.”
Fashola urged the children not to forget all the things that
they have learnt through programmes initiated by his administration such
as the road safety rules and signs, traffic rules, the climate change rule to
protect their environment and hand washing techniques, which helped the state
to combat the Ebola Virus during its outbreak.
He added that the children should continue with the good habits
to make Lagos State a better place for all.
