The Chairman of the NDLEA, Mohamed Buba Marwa said this at the 5 Biennial National Symposium on Drugs and Drug Policy in Nigeria, held in Abuja.
The theme of the symposium organised by the Centre for Research and Information on Substance Abuse CRISA is: “Substance Use, Additive Behaviours and COVID-19.”
Marwa, who was the Guest of Honour at the symposium, said that the decision was part of efforts to treat the high number of persons suffering from drug addiction in the country.
He explained that when established, the centres would complement various efforts by the Federal, State and Local Governments, adding that three of the centres would start next year as already proposed in the 2022 budget.
