NDLEA Proposes Mandatory Drug Tests For University Admission
The Commandant of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Kwara State, Hajia Fatima Abiola-Popoola, has proposed that newly admitted university students should be made to undergo mandatory drug tests as part of their admission process.
She explained that this would “Serve as a preventive measure while offering early intervention and counselling for those already using drugs to prevent them from becoming problematic users”.
Hajia Abiola-Popoola made the suggestion during a radio programme in Ilorin.
The NDLEA boss further expressed concern over the rising number of drug users in the country.
She said: “A 2018 survey shows that 14.3 million people were using drugs in Nigeria. One out of 7 persons in Nigeria is a drug user and one out of 4 drug users is a woman.
“This shows that the society is in trouble because a woman is the administrator of the home.”
