“Addiction is just a way of trying to get at something else. Something bigger. Call it transcendence if you want, but it’s a rat in a maze. We all want the same thing. We all have this hole. The thing you want offers relief, but it’s a trap.” – Tess Callahan with one of our favorite drug addiction recovery quotes.

In the last few days, much attention has been paid to the grassroots efforts of the institution charged with changing the trends of drug addiction, trafficking and transforming the mindsets of Nigerians towards drugs in the Country – the National Drugs Laws Enforcement Agency .

A lot of us in the HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA are indeed fascinated by this development and it is basically one of the strategies that we think that there should be more institutional initiatives to save millions of lives that may be destroyed by drug abuse-related issues. The drugs, experts affirmed change the brain in a way that makes quitting physically and mentally difficult.

NDLEA further said, “One in every four drug abusers is a female.” The Anambra State Commandant of NDLEA, Mrs Florence Ezeonye, stated this on Wednesday in Awka during a ceremony to mark this year’s United Nations international day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. “To simplify the report of the survey, young people are overwhelmingly the majority of drug abusers in Nigeria,” she added.
