Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, who was in Thailand last week in company with the chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Muhammad Abdallah, for a programme tagged, ‘Medicinal Cannabis Extract Development’, said the state government would aim to take advantage of the commercial and medicinal value of the plant to create jobs for the youth.
Akeredolu, who has come under attack since his comments, warned that cannabis cultivation had yet to be legalised. He said the collaboration with the NDLEA was an indication of Federal Government’s consent to the cultivation of the crop in the state. “The assistance we seek from the Federal Government is the collaboration we already have with the NDLEA, which is an agency of the government.Efforts made by our correspondent to reach the Commander of the NDLEA in the state, Mr Haruna Gagara, for comments on the development were unsuccessful.How CCTV saved me from arrest –Doctor who tried to rescue RCCG gospel artiste that committed suicide
