Ogun: NDLEA To Collaborate With FRSC In Curbing Drug, Substa

In its fight against drug and substance abuse, the Idiroko Borderlands Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Ogun, has called for more collaboration between the agency and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).

Odili Ibiba, the new Area Commander of NDLEA, made the call on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the Idiroko Unit Command of FRSC,

Ibiba said the courtesy visit was beyond soliciting the support and cooperation of FRSC in the campaign against substance or drug abuse in Idiroko and the environs.

“The visit symbolises the high premium that NDLEA places on a strong working relationship with FRSC.

“This relationship had existed for a very long time because there are linkages between the core functions of FRSC and that of the NDLEA, which are road safety management and preservation of lives,” she said.

Ibiba said the consequence of drug abuse and alcohol intake has led to a high rate of deaths and fatalities, adding that results had shown that substance or drug abuse impairs the brain.

The NDLEA boss added that in the past, the NDLEA and FRSC had carried out various interventions to curb the influence of alcohol on motorists.

Responding, Idiroko Unit Commander of FRSC, Akinwunmi Olaluwoye lauded the new NDLEA boss for making efforts to strengthen the relationship between the two agencies.

Olaluwoye also pledged to give full support and cooperation toward achieving their set goals.
