The Akwa State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, said drug abuse remains a major cause of vices in the society, assuring National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency, that his government is strongly in support of campaigns towards reducing drug abuse in the state.Emmanuel said this when he received the Akwa Ibom State NDLEA commander Obot Bassey, at Government House, Uyo.
“I know these days, criminality has crept into almost all strata of the society, secondary schools these days you see young children getting involved, even up to university some of us did not know those things you could only spell those things we never saw it in our eyes,” Emmanuel said. The governor congratulated Bassey on her recent appointment as the NDLEA state commander and assured her of supporting the agency to succeed in the state.
However, come elections the very same politicians spare no expense to supply the same drugs to their hired hoodlums and thugs! The members of the government should be tested monthly for drug use with no exemptions.
