Parents have been charged to re-strategise their mode of parenting, and pay more attention to the upbringing of their wards, especially the boy-child, to curb the menace of hard drug addiction in the country.
He said: “To be a good parent, first you must know the word of God, then you have to look beyond how you were raised by your own parents as times have changed. Pay attention to your children and allow them make their own career choices without necessarily imposing your choice on them to avoid rebellious behaviour which eventually springs up a menace.
Jegede revealed that she came up with the MTEPRH initiative because of her personal experience with a relative who became a drug addict and has been on the street for over 40 years. “Through the process, I discovered some of the cases these rehab centres handle could not be sorted out within a short period. Also, after graduation, these residents have compounded challenges such as rejection from the society and loved ones, stigmatisation, unemployment, etc, which takes them back to the streets.
