The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has lamented the rate of drug abuse in the country.
“It needs repeating that the number of drug users in Nigeria now, looking at all the age brackets, must be well over 15 million,” he said. “I used to be the Ambassador to South Africa/Lesotho and Swaziland; the populations of Swaziland, Lesotho, and Botswana are still not up to 15 million. It is the task of NDLEA to stop all these unacceptable nonsense.”
While condemning a situation where drug use has eaten very deep into the nation’s social fabric, he reiterated the agency’s commitment to fighting every form of drug abuse in the country.
I do hope NDLEA would under the current leadership be as vibrant and as proactive as it were during late Gen. Sani Abacha regime.
This newly idle thief wants to create a problem so he can fit in to the budget..u that abuse gove
People getting high on anything to cope with bad governance and poverty is not DrugAbuse EndSARS

Ifb in less than 5secs. NDLEA EndSARS Seyi
The same number that also endorse Yahaya Bello. Coincidence?
Oga!!! Why not take your time to study the office you were just appointed to before confronting with your gross abuse of office.. perhaps you are one!!
See the real abuser
The entire NDLEA team should be sacked,and those found guilty of crime should be prosecuted and sent to prison cos they really messed up.They went to sleep right after Bamaiyi and co left the stage. We only smoked igbo,these kids are into crack ,tramadol and other dangerous drugs
Well packaged news. Here is the full story... Intercepted, made some arrests, collected the drugs codely, replace the drugs later, get kudos by Nigerian and press men. All party involved are currently partying now. I will never fall this cheap propaganda

Including your children sir.
We are more than that jare
Just how did he count them?
Mainly northern Nigeria. fact
According to what/who? Where did you get your data from Sir Chairman?
Where did he get his data from? Just open mouth waaasa
And they are all from The north
Over 14.999999 Million Abuse Drugs In northern Nigeria – NDLEA Chairman
This number is too low... Abuja alone has like 3 million smokers🤣🤣🤣
Including them too
Northerners have power and that's why they are poor and not developing.remove power from them and the elite will go on exile for the poor to grow and the north will develope like wild fire.
Lai Mohammed & Femi Adesina are their ringleaders. Those two are constantly high on drugs cos normal people can never say what they usually utter
That include govt officials & people in high places if not, we won't be having them come on national TV to make some of their statement openly without seconds thought of the impact or how such jargons could b rejected by d public but dey always get back 2twist their initial words
When was the poll conducted, before arriving at such a small figure? Oops! Perhaps it's another assumption. In order to succeed, we must learn to work with facts generated from the field. It helps to tackle ugly challenges at play. Poverty, strikes & unemployment makes it worst
I am not among o
12 million of those junkies from the Northern part of the country.
Mr chairman what impact you do you contribute to stop this coz am sure 14.99 million are from north
Always quick to give figures dat Dey don’t knw, u just resumed less dan 24hours and u already hving d statistics of drugs abuse in Nigeria. U are dere to steal, just steal ur retirement money and leave... buhari is just blessing frds with positions to loot
Drug abuse ppl
Even the NDLEA chairman the Data analyst is among the said 15Millions Nigerians, Mumu ppl
Oga na today u assumed office ooo
All these Adamu way full government so!!!
This guy don broke.. That's why he's coming back.
That’s why your officers are harassing commuters abi...
10Million are the Rich Children
Which day these one become NDLEA chairman wey e don dey give figures of people abusing drugs?
Curb the menace and stop talking......
Problem is, the NDLEA has never been realistic in their approach. We need to think outside the box, to ensure implementation of realistic and scalable policies in states to complement FG’s efforts. Coordination of CSOs and the government is so poor.
Still, is only the government that can fight this Drug matter.
14.9 million are from the north.. Don't tell me shit
How did you get to that figure.....
This one will be a talkative appointee , he is already talking too much , such never perform
.....and.....the data was scientifically collected, by who na?
Mostly northerners
Probably cause it is such a hard country to get by in.
