Your future is far too valuable to be stolen by addiction.
This has been shared by the Minister for Youth and Sports Jese Saukuru during the Rotuma Youth Festival yesterday in Ahau, Rotuma, where he urged young people to stay away from drugs and protect their health, dreams and families.
Saukuru refers to the increase in the use of illicit drugs as the “devil among us” and says it is because of the deep and destructive impact it has on youths in Fiji.
He says youths in Rotuma should use the 4-day festival as an opportunity to connect with others, find inspiration, and dedicate themselves to creating positive change, not only for their own benefit, but also for their families, communities, and future generations.
The Rotuma Youth Festival 2025 marks the 7th youth festival hosted around Fiji, and programs are designed to guide youths away from harmful activities and toward growth, learning and community building.
