The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has called on 10 selected pilot communities in Anambra State to fully embrace its Alternative Development Programme aimed at addressing drug abuse and trafficking while creating a safer future for young people.
The agency urged residents of the selected communities to support and participate in the initiative, stressing the importance of collective action in tackling the challenges associated with illicit drug use and trafficking.
The programme is expected to encourage community involvement in addressing drug-related activities and protecting youths from the dangers of substance abuse.
The NDLEA’s appeal highlights the need for cooperation between the agency and local communities in building safer environments and providing better opportunities for young people.
