The Chairman, National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA, Brigadier General Buba Marwa, urged stakeholders to intensify collaboration with the agency to fight against drug abuse and trafficking.
Marwa made the call during an interactive session with the media in Kano.
He said he was in Kano to strengthen the synergy and collaboration between various stakeholders to win the fight against drug menace.
Marwa said he had met and discussed the way forward with the governor, traditional rulers, religious leaders, heads of tertiary institutions, security agents, transport unions, people in Kannywood and the elders’ forum.
Marwa said he was impressed with the assurance made by the stakeholders to intensify collaboration with the agency in that direction.
He, therefore, urged the media to continue to work hard in enlightening people on the dangers associated with drugs abuse.
Marwa also called on state governments and Non-Governmental Organisations NGOs to construct more drug treatment centers in their respective states for the treatment of drug addicts.
