Anti-Drug Impact Foundation Harps on Collaboration, Campaigns to Combat Drug Abuse and Trafficking

In a New Year’s message, Olayiwola Ibrahim, the founder of the Anti-Drug Impact Foundation, a non-governmental organization, has emphasized the need for increased cooperation between parents, guardians, custodians, and community leaders with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the collective fight against drug abuse, addiction, and trafficking.

This call to action was made during an online weekly lecture, aligning with the organization’s vision and mission to educate youths, teens, and adults on the imperative to reject drug abuse for a healthier society.

Olayiwola highlighted the importance of raising awareness to deepen understanding of the detrimental effects and consequences of drug abuse on the health system. He underscored the pivotal role that parents, guardians, custodians, and community leaders play in the campaign to “say no to drug abuse” among other measures.

Furthermore, Olayiwola stressed the necessity of monitoring the basic and social lifestyles of children, both at home, school, and any social environments, as a proactive measure in combating drug-related issues.

Addressing concerns about underage individuals engaging in drug-related activities, especially in hotels, Olayiwola urged strict adherence to regulations by hotel owners. He called upon all stakeholders to report any suspicious activities to the NDLEA, as a decisive way of contributing to the eradication of illicit drug practices within communities.

Olayiwola further expressed gratitude to the members of the Anti-Drug Impact Foundation, and weekly lecturers who have supported educational initiatives on drug abuse, and collaborative efforts from the NDLEA and its sister agency, the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

He commended all agencies contributing to the foundation’s vision and mission, emphasizing the importance of a united front in the battle against drug abuse in Nigeria.
