The Commandant of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Kwara State, Hajia Fatima Abiola-Popoola, has proposed that newly admitted university students should be made to undergo mandatory drug tests as part of their admission process.

Hajia Abiola-Popoola made the suggestion during a radio programme in Ilorin.

She said: “A 2018 survey shows that 14.3 million people were using drugs in Nigeria. One out of 7 persons in Nigeria is a drug user and one out of 4 drug users is a woman.
“This shows that the society is in trouble because a woman is the administrator of the home.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
