The Secretary to the Nasarawa State Government, Dr Labaran Magaji, has said the fight against drug abuse is critical, noting that drug abuse fuels criminality and other social vices in society.
Magaji stated this on Monday, in Lafia, when the Nasarawa State Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Saidu Daniel, paid him a familiarisation visit.
According to him, drug abuse was becoming worrisome as virtually every family is affected, with consequences ranging from political thuggery to school dropout.
Magaji told the visiting NDLEA boss, “With respect to your job, the issue of curtailing drug abuse in our society is very worrisome. Virtually in every family, you can hardly find one or two persons who are not engaging in it.
“Political thuggery and school dropout are being fueled by drug intake. All those vices that you can think of, they are all a result of drug abuse,” he said
