President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Thursday, lamented that drug abuse has become a hazard too difficult to ignore in Nigeria.
The Senate President, who was represented by the Chairman, Committee on Health, Senator Yahaya Ibrahim Oloriegbe spoke while declaring open a Public Hearing on the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency Act 2004. According to Lawan: “Equally important is that drug abuse has become a hazard. While we may often identify abuse with the youths, emerging evidence reveals that it cuts across all social strata.
“We have severally demonstrated that we cannot allow the degeneration of our values, through drugs, and other substances, considering our concerted quest for growth.
