In an effort to reduce the use of illegal drugs throughout the nation, the Office of the National Security Adviser and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control partnered on Wednesday.
The National Coordinator, National Counter Terrorism Centre, ONSA, Rear Admiral Yaminu Musa (retd. ), claimed that the use of illegal drugs was “fueling insecurity” in the nation, according to a statement by the Director, Strategic Communications, ONSA, Ozoya Imohimi.
“Drug is one of those foods fueling insecurity in Nigeria and the need to strengthen collaborations among relevant government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, particularly NAFDAC, to tackle this menace, must be sustained for a safe and resilient society,” the statement said in part.
Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the director general of NAFDAC, urged all Nigerians to expose drug dealers, saying that drugs had destroyed many young people’s futures.
She pledged that her organization’s continued partnership with the NCTC in the ONSA would result in more advantageous outcomes for Nigeria.
