NDLEA Urges Youths Against Drug Abuse

Ibinabo Archie-Abia, the State Commander, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ogun, has advised youths to stay away from drug abuse in the New Year.

Archie-Abia gave this advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ota, Ogun.

She said this would help them to take back the country and place Nigeria in its rightful place among the comity of nations.

As a way of curbing the menace, the NDLEA chief implored Nigerian youths to speak up against substance abuse and drug trafficking.

She also urged youths to be courageous to exercise their civil rights and responsibilities in the forthcoming polls.

“They should exercise their civic franchise responsibly by voting the right candidates into office as their future depends on good governance,“ she said.

Archie-Abia also advised the youth to shun thuggery, violence and money bags who would buy them for a fee to do their bidding and afterwards discard them.
