NDLEA Cautions Youths Against Drug Abuse

Archie-Abia Ibinabo, Commander, Idiroko Borderland Special Area Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA,) Archie-Abia, has advised youths to shun drug abuse, charging them to live a meaningful life.

Ibinabo gave the advice while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ogun State on Sunday.

She admonished the youths to shun illicit drug trafficking and to engage in profitable engagements to fulfil their dreams, adding that abuse of drugs will lead to addiction and the destruction of their dreams.

Ibinabo called for efforts to engage the youths in different skills and create employment opportunities for them to be able to withstand the pressure.

“On our part, we have started a football club in Idiroko axis so that we can bring the youths out of the streets and channel their energies towards profitable engagement.

“We should be determined to involve them as this would make them have a sense of belonging and prevent them from going into crime,” she said.
