Freetown Terminal Limited (FTL) on 18 April 2026 successfully conducted a comprehensive “No to Drugs” sensitisation program in the Moa Wharf and Seaside communities, reinforcing its commitment to community wellbeing and responsible corporate citizenship.

The initiative brought togethler residents, youth groups, and local stakeholders for an engaging and educational session focused on the dangers of drug abuse, prevention strategies, and pathways to recovery. The program featured a lineup of experienced facilitators and speakers who addressed the issue from medical, psychological, and social perspectives.

Key presentations highlighted the growing impact of substance abuse on individuals and communities, with practical guidance on early warning signs, prevention, and the importance of seeking timely support. Participants also benefited from sessions led by professionals specializing in treatment and psychosocial support, who emphasized the role of family, community structures, and rehabilitation in overcoming addiction.
