The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has called for more investment in drug abuse prevention in Nigeria.

byOliver Stolpe, the country representative of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Nigeria, says the federal government must invest more in drug abuse prevention.

“While cannabis remains the main drug sourced, trafficked, and used in Africa, the continent continues to be used as a transit area for drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine,” Stolpe said. More than 90 percent of tramadol seized in the past 5 years worldwide has been seized in Africa, predominantly West Africa.
