The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd.) has charged religious bodies and other faith-based organisations to make the campaign against drug abuse a constant feature in their sermons to save Nigerian youths and prevent others from slipping into the scourge.
Marwa gave the charge when he received a delegation from the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah , led by its Chairman, Sheik Abdullahi Bala Lau at the Agency’s national headquarters in Abuja.
He said: “I appeal to our religious bodies, the two major faiths and other faith-based organisations to join this effort being coordinated by NDLEA and ensure that anti-drug abuse messages feature constantly in their sermons and other evangelical activities.”“We’re glad over your choice of Kaduna, because Governor Nasir el-Rufai is passionate about the drug war, and has done a lot to transform the state,” he added.
According to him: “The entire Muslim ummas and bodies in Nigeria appreciate what you are doing. We’re ever ready to support this agency to save our youths from destruction by drugs.”
