Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Monday expressed his displeasure over attempt at legalising the use of marijuana or Cannabis Dativa (Indian hemp) in the country.

Ganduje expressed his feelings when the Chairman, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency retired Brig.- Gen. Buba Marwa, led top officials of the agency on a courtesy visit to Kano.

“Kano has the highest number of federal lawmakers in the National Assembly. I want to assure you that none of them will support any attempt to legalise cannabis. He said that the NDLEA was currently doing so much to cut availability and accessibility to illicit drugs across Nigeria. “Also, 1,630 convictions; 3,232 cases in court and over 4,000 drug users counselled and rehabilitated show the progress made so far.
