Shelleng, who restated the commitment, on Wednesday, in Port Harcourt, when members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists visited her, stressed that drug and substance abuse remained inimical to human health as well as societal decency and development.
The commander said that the spate of crime and violence in some parts of the country was partly as a result of drug intake, saying, “no sane person is destructive” Shelleng further stated that NDLEA had shown enormous commitment towards tackling the menace of drug abuse in the country.“We do not need to advertise the efforts we are making to fight drug abuse, we are aware of its dangers to the society and the future of our nation,” she said.
Earlier, Mr Amaechi Okonkwo, Chairman, Correspondents’ Chapel, said the visit was to seek areas in which the chapel could partner the agency in the fight against drug abuse.
