The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has recorded some achievements in its war against abuse of narcotic substances, especially with the cooperation of sub-nationals.
The agency’s spokesman Femi Babafemi in a televised interview today said some state governments in the country have embraced the NDLEA’s advocacy to make drug tests mandatory for appointees and employees.
He said, “It’s an advocacy move and that has been going on since 2021. Quite a number of state governments are already making this a policy in their states to ensure that whoever goes for an elective position or whoever is appointed to the state government undergoes drug tests. That is going on.
“Like I said, it’s an advocacy move. It’s not a law; all we can do is to encourage the various stakeholders to buy into this.”
