FutureBuild Foundation Urges Collective Action Against Drug Abuse, Rewards Students at World Drug Day Event.
The call was made during the Foundation’s commemoration of the 2026 International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, held at Government Technical College, Ewet Offot, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Delivering his keynote address, the Chairman of the Foundation, Kingsley Umoffia, said this year’s global theme, “The World Drug Problem: Persisting Issues, New Challenges, Innovative Responses,” reflects the evolving nature of drug abuse and trafficking.
According to him, while long-standing challenges such as drug trafficking, systemic vulnerability and the stigma associated with substance abuse persist, emerging threats including synthetic drugs and digital black markets have made illicit substances more accessible, especially to young people.
