The Upper East Region is drowning in narcotics while officials scramble for solutions, as Augustine Akugri from the National Commission for Civic Education dropped hard truths in the documentary Swallowed by Drugs about how substance abuse is wrecking the area. This regional deputy director explained that the independent governance institution is mandated to push civic awareness and warned that the nation cannot maintain its prestige if the youth are constantly high on tramadol or codeine.
The official argued that getting wasted undermines the ability to function as a responsible worker and destroys national unity. He detailed how the organization blasts educational content across radio waves and schools while teaming up with the Narcotics Control Board to broadcast the dangers. Akugri pointed out that peer pressure and the desire to rebel against authority often drive kids toward stimulants like ecstasy or depressants such as heroin.
He stressed that dependency eventually makes life impossible without a fix and causes ripple effects that destroy families. The message emphasizes that collective action is the only way to reverse the trend for a productive future.
