NACSA in collaboration with the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) marked this year's Citizenship Week with public sensitisation engagements at the Islamic No. 1 Junior High School and SDA Junior High School in the Yendi Municipality.

The programme highlighted the important connection between responsible citizenship and peaceful communities, encouraging students to see themselves not only as future leaders but also as active contributors to peace and security.

Speaking on the consequences of gun violence, Mr. Abdurahim Mohammed Mutaka, Head of NACSA's Yendi Municipal Office highlighted the dangers of illicit firearms to communities and the role young people can play in preventing violence through responsible behaviour and informed decision-making.

The NCCE in turn facilitated discussions on civic responsibility and the importance of upholding the values and principles enshrined in Ghana's Constitution.

NACSA commends the Yendi Municipal Directorate of the NCCE for strengthening collaboration to promote civic education and a gun-violence-free society.
