National Assembly seeks parents’ inclusion in war against drugs
The National Assembly has sought the inclusion of parents in the war against drug abuse and trafficking as the best way to eradicate the menaces in the country.
The appeal came on Thursday from its joint Committee on Drugs and Narcotics during a one-day sensitization programme organised in collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Drugs Monitoring, NANDRUM, held on Thursday in Abuja.
In his speech at the event themed: “Parents Inclusion in the Fight Against Drug Abuse and Reckless Behaviours”, the President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio, said the involvement of parents in the fight has become very necessary and critical.
Akpabio, who was represented by the Deputy Leader of the Senate, Lola Ashiru, said the epidemic of drug abuse and trafficking, should be tackled right from the home front led by parents
