Kebbi State Governors’ wife has bached National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and its war against abuse and trafficking of illicit drugs.
Hajia Zainab Idris gave her support when she received NDLEA Commander, Sulaiman Usman, and his entourage at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi.
“I will not stand by as a mother and see our children consumed by this menace she said.
She said she would seek a formidable partnership to secure the state from the menace of drug abuse.
Mrs Idris informs of her decision to adopt drug abuse as a flagship project “to address the alarming problem of drug abuse in communities.”
She promised that her office, under leadership of Govenor Nasiru Idris, would assist the state commands with logistics, set up rehabilitation centres, provide jobs and skills for women, youths, and advocacy campaigns.
Usman urged parents and guardians to consult them when they notice strange attitude from their children.
He said they wanted to congratulate the first family on a successful inuguration into office, and to inform her of the need to prirotise and adopt drug abuse as a project.
The commander said NDLEA has a National Drug Control Master Plan in which Kebbi should key into by setting up a drug control committee.
Bashir Buhari, who spoke on behalf of Kebbi youths, decried rising drug abuse, and how the menace has diminished the worth and potential of youths. He appealed to governments to prirotise the wellbeing of the younger generation.
