UGEP, CROSS RIVER STATE — Victoria Teens Foundation is set to host a community outreach programme in Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State, to raise awareness about sexual abuse, drug abuse, and cultism among young people and members of the community.
The programme, tagged Teen Vibes Check: Ugep Community Edition, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 17 October 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Obol Ubi Ujong Hall, near the Council Guest House, Ugep.
The initiative focuses on three social issues that continue to attract concern among families and communities: sexual abuse, drug abuse, and cultism. Through community engagement and awareness, the outreach seeks to bring attention to these issues and encourage conversations about the safety, well-being, and future of young people.
Addressing such concerns requires awareness, responsible decision-making, and the collective involvement of parents, guardians, educators, community leaders, and other stakeholders. Community-based initiatives can provide opportunities for people to discuss these challenges, share knowledge, and explore ways to protect young people from harmful influences.
The outreach is expected to provide an opportunity for community members to engage with the issues and reflect on the importance of creating a safer and more supportive environment for teenagers.
As preparations continue, the programme places the spotlight on the importance of community participation in addressing social concerns that affect young people and their families.
Discover Ugep will continue to document relevant initiatives, events, and developments that contribute to conversations about the people, well-being, and future of Ugep.
