THERE are some medicine vendors who are merchandising sedative drugs to drug abusers in their respective shops, surreptitiously. And the major causes of some annoying situation of this country is the menace of drug abuse ranging from kidnapping, banditry and many other negative activities.
As such, the NDLEA management should as a matter of urgency collaborate with health practitioners to organise campaign awareness to those who have unintentionally gone into this detestable behaviour as a result of which many of our youths are being led into provoking acts causing chaos and uneasiness in the country.
There is a need to monitor the operation of pharmacies and patent medicine stores across all states and local government areas of the federation.
This menace of drug abuse today in Nigeria has taken multi-dimensional sides and all hands must be on deck to address the evil effect of it. All Nigerians must fight against drug abuse.
