Days of drug, substance abuse in Nigeria numbered, says Osinbajo

Earlier in his remarks, the NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa said although the agency is expanding its reach by opening more rehabilitation centres nationwide, the centres would make no impact if addicts cannot come forward due to stigma from society.

Marwa said, “Building treatment facilities is a good step, but it can be rendered inefficient because of the challenge of access that is inherent in a climate of stigmatisation where someone labelled “a drug addict” is treated as a social pariah. “The call centre will eliminate the obstacles standing in the way of those that genuinely need help as we will be guaranteeing them the confidentiality they need. Similarly, the toll-free number, 0800-10203040, and the website, ndleahelpline.com.ng, will help the public to pass valuable information, report incidents and ask for help.”

He said, “We feel happy that the MTN Foundation has become an intimate part of the programs of the NDLEA. We feel that the task ahead is just beginning and the NDLEA needs a lot of support.

The effect of drug abuse is very bad. With the right policies in place, we can end drug abuse and trafficking

We must end the menace fast, it is really affecting the nation and his vulnerability

What I know is that APC is one of the 💊 but for substance abuse should go to Fulani terrorist AK47.

We need to take Marwan on the idea of subjecting political office holders to drug tests. We can't afford to elect drug cartel mafia as leader in whatsoever capacity.

Aren't you people (this Nigerian government) tired of empty threats? Your institutions which were supposed to combat these crimes are themselves the perpetrators. Go sit down abeg

😏

You are right,professor. Your policy articulation and boasting at the expiration of your tenure is highly laughable,stinking and disgusting. Abeg,when are resuming with trader-moni?

Have you stopped taking yours?
