The Osun State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has urged Nigerians to take collective responsibility in the fight against substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking.

This according to the command is a crucial step towards safeguarding the nation’s future and protecting young people from the devastating effect of drug.

The call was made by the NDLEA Commander in the state, Lawal Adetula during a sensitisation programme held in Osogbo to mark the 2025 International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit trafficking.

Giving an insight on this year celebration theme, ‘Breaking the chain, prevention, treatment and recovery for all, the Commander emphasised that as the agency is playing its role to break the chain of drug abuse, the society also needs to break the chain of drug trade decisively.

He said: “Even though you are law enforcement officers, you are aiding and abetting drug dealers, your chain needs to be broken and if you are a student and a teacher, a proprietor of a school and you allow your premises to be use as a drug haven which means you are hidden and abetting, you too your chain needs to be broken. Therefore, all students can be set free. I am appealing to the society at large; we must all discourage drug abuse”
