The criticisms against the proposal forced the sponsors to demand that it be stepped down for review, a prayer that the lawmakers unanimously granted.
Marwa said history would never forget those who stood with parents to protect them and their children from any legislation that would turn Nigeria into a nation of junkies and criminals, which would amount to taking a step forward and 10 steps backward. He noted that a 2018 drug survey figure of 10.6 million Nigerians abusing cannabis alone was enough to sound the alarm bell.
“In the final analysis, drug abuse is indeed one of the factors fueling insecurity. As such, Nigeria cannot afford to permit the cultivation, sale and use of the most abused illicit drug under whatever guise,” he added.All rights reserved.

NDLEA commends Reps members' disagreement on marijuana billThe National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has commended some members of the House of Representatives for disagreeing with three of their colleagues over a bill seeking to legalise the cultivation, sale and use of cannabis, also known as marijuana, for commercial purposes. The Senator that brought up the bill is a suspect. Only those who haven’t witnessed the adverse effect of hard drug on the youths and growing teenagers would really contemplate on legalizing it’s use in a country like Nigeria that is notorious for abuse. We are naturally poor with regulations. Don't render NDLEA staffs jobless. They need perpetrators to get meals. 👽

General Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd.), has commended members and leaders of the House of Representatives for rejecting, yet another attempt to push through, a bill to decriminalise cannabis cultivation, sale and use in Nigeria on the floor of the National Assembly on Thursday. Responding to the development, yesterday, through a statement by the agency’s Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, Marwa said the decision by a majority of the lawmakers to reject the bill would further strengthen the gains so far made in the renewed war against drug abuse and trafficking in the country.
