He affirmed that the church has a major role to play in raising awareness and rehabilitating victims of drug abuse because “as long as the youth population in the church is not healthy, the church is not healthy.

Campbell said instead of youths complaining about the unemployment situation in the country, they should use these platforms to “soar” high like an eagle. “Social media is a storm; it can lift you up or destroy you.”

The program ended with a showcase of products that can be promoted on social media and church members were asked to help promote them.
