*Builds rehabilitation centre to cushion the effect of drug abuse on youths
Founder and General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, Dr Daniel Olukoya, has decried the rise in drug abuse and addiction among Nigerian youths.
According to him, “Only God can rescue Nigerian youths from the menace of drug abuse”.
Olukoya, who was represented by the Vice-Chancellor of Mountain Top University (MTU), Professor Elijah Ayolabi, said on Monday, May 2, during a summit at the church’s international headquarters in Lagos, that the menace of drug abuse was fast eating deep into the fabric of the society.

“Drug abuse is not only in Nigeria; it is a global problem. It has eaten deep into every fabric of our society, and except there is divine intervention, it seems there is no hope for the generation coming.
“While growing up, we were very excited to be intoxicated by the power of the Holy Spirit but today, we have some people (youths) who smoke gum to get themselves excited. They are now being intoxicated by the power of hard drug, leading to confusion everywhere. Indeed as the scripture says, “we are in the perilous times”.
“I must thank the organisers for rising to the challenge of tackling this global phenomenon,” he said.
He, therefore, urged parents, government agencies, and other key stakeholders to join hands in the crusade against the menace of drug abuse which he described as a “pandemic waiting to explode.”
In his remarks, Olushola Tejuosho, the coordinator of Mountain Top Rehabilitation Centre, appreciated the GO for his vision for the youths while commending him for building a rehab centre to mitigate the effect of drug abuse and its effect on society.
Quest Times understands that this noble action is part of Olukoya’s 70-point agenda to rescue the youth from some of these global problems bedevilling society.
