NABAKOOBA

Lands minister Judith Nabkooba has cautioned youth against using drugs, saying it has led to the increase in the crime rate around the country.

Nabakooba, who was speaking at the annual youth day celebrations in Mityana on April 27, asked leaders to sensitise youths on dangers of taking drugs and the effects of drug abuse.

She said by doing that, leaders will not only be helping but also rehabilitating the youths who were in one way or another lured by the influence of bad groups.

“Drug abuse is on the increase. We have seen many youths who are taking drugs which are dangerous to their lives because there are crimes associated with it,” she said.
