The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has said that drugs increase conflicts, crime, and insecurity in Nigeria. 


Reaffirming the agency’s commitment to addressing the issue through awareness and cooperation, the Strategic Commander of Apapa Strategic Command, Buba Wakama, urged stakeholders to join forces against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. 


Citing an estimate of 14.3 million Nigerians that have used drugs between 15 and 64 years old, the NDLEA stressed the need for collective action to guarantee sound health and security in communities.
