The programme will climax on Saturday, August 22, with a police-youth dialogue, panel discussion and special lecture at the Officers’ Mess, Police Headquarters, Okpanam Road, Asaba.
The command said the activities would provide a platform for meaningful interaction between the police and young people on responsible citizenship, peaceful participation, digital responsibility and crime prevention.
It said lectures would also focus on issues including drug abuse, cultism and the dangers of political and digital thuggery.
The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, Yemi Oyeniyi, urged youths to reject political violence, cultism, cybercrime, hate speech and other activities capable of jeopardising their future.
Oyeniyi instead encouraged young people to channel their energy and talents into education, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures.
The command urged youths and members of the public to participate actively in the activities and support its campaign slogan: “My Future Is Greater Than Political & Digital Thuggery.”
