Steer clear of hard drugs, JTF tells military personnel deployed to Niger Delta vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The Joint Task Force deployed to protect oil installations in the Niger Delta, ‘Operation Delta Safe’, on Monday, urged personnel of various services under its command to steer clear of hard drugs.
Akinrinade said that drug abuse had become a global menace, with adverse consequences on the mental and physical health of the populace. “Early this year, President Muhammadu Buhari decried the rising problem of drug abuse and its associated consequences, particularly as it affects national security and immediately inaugurated a presidential committee on drug abuse to find lasting solution to the menace,” he said.
Francis, an official of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency , said that inability to sleep, need for alertness and combat readiness usually exposed military personnel to use of drugs.
