Speaker Calls for Unified War on Drugs | Nigeria News

Speaker of the House Tajudeen Abbas is sounding the alarm on drug abuse as a national security threat, demanding a multi-pronged attack that combines law enforcement, community action, and compassionate care for addicts. He warns that drug trafficking fuels violence, funds criminal networks, and must be tackled alongside banditry and kidnapping in the North-West. Abbas calls on families, schools, pharmacists, and religious leaders to play active roles in prevention and intervention, stressing that disrupting drug supply chains weakens criminal organizations and reduces recruitment into violent groups. He applauds ongoing government efforts, including President Tinubu’s support for rehabilitation centers and the National Orientation Agency’s outreach, positioning this as a nationwide campaign to turn the tide on addiction and insecurity.
