He has shed light on a serious problem in several Ghanaian high schools: the rampant drug abuse and drug dealing that plagues the student body, particularly among young men.
“It all started at Adisadel College, half of the boys do it. It is not just among ADISCO boys, the Cape Coast schools. It starts with cigarettes and proceeds to cocaine. It all happens in school and we manage to sneak out of campus.
