Councillor Ali Ngidi urged the youth to always be aware of the consequences of their actions.

“Your behaviour will determine your future. therefore abstain from drugs and use protection should you be sexually active. If you are already HIV positive ensure that you take your treatment and know that life does go on,” he said.
