He delivered the message at the 9th edition of the Eledzi Health Walk, which drew scores of participants onto the streets in a collective display of wellness advocacy, unity and social responsibility.
Addressing the gathering, Edem stressed that the impact of drug abuse extends far beyond the individual user, noting that its consequences often leave lasting scars on families and society at large.
He urged young people to stay away from drugs and encouraged those already struggling with substance use to seek help.
He warned that drug abuse threatens the future of the youth and undermines the stability of their immediate environment, calling for a collective effort to confront the growing challenge.
He explained that while the health walk promotes physical fitness and social cohesion, organisers are working towards transforming it into a major lifestyle and entertainment brand.
According to him, the long-term goal is to grow the Eledzi Health Walk into a large-scale event that blends health advocacy, music, culture and recreation, comparable to a major outdoor lifestyle festival.
He appealed to media organisations, corporate bodies and individuals to partner with the initiative to help expand its reach and impact.
Established as a community-driven programme, the Eledzi Health Walk was created to promote healthy living, physical activity and social unity.
Over the years, it has evolved from a modest community exercise into a widely anticipated annual event, attracting entertainment personalities, health advocates and members of the public.
Now in its ninth edition, the initiative continues to champion wellness, youth empowerment and positive lifestyle choices, while steadily positioning itself as a dynamic platform that fuses health advocacy with entertainment and community engagement.
