Get ready! The Drug Convos is coming this Friday, June 26, 2020!
To commemorate the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, MTN Nigeria is partnering with music channel, MTV Base; Netng; Business Day and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), to host a no-holds-barred virtual conversation about substance abuse among Nigerian youths.
The Drug Convos will hold online and will start with a thirty-minute chat session driven by actress and ViacomCBS Networks Africa presenter, Ada Afoluwake ‘Folu Storms’ Ogunkeye.
She will discuss things like addiction and how first-time users get hooked with various music artistes, and other entertainers. This will be followed by a one-hour no-holds-barred discussion with producer and musician Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist, Yewande Oshodi; Executive Secretary, MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya; Country Manager, ViacomCBS Networks Africa, Bada Akintunde-Johnson and a former addict. The session will be moderated by writer and journalist, Japheth J. Omojuwa.
The event is focused on building a vibrant platform that will enable young Nigerians to actively participate and contribute to in-depth conversations about substance abuse and addiction.
Following the success of MTN’s Anti-Substance Abuse Programme (ASAP) in 2019, plans were set to build an annual campaign focused on reducing substance abuse in young Nigerians ages 10-25.
