In his response, the Chairman of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brigadier General Muhammed Buba Marwa (rtd) congratulated General Fadah on his appointment as the nineenth Chief Executive of NYSC.
He said efforts must be put in place to collaborate on grassroot sensitization on the dangers of drug abuse and trafficking, especially among the youths.
Marwa said every community in the country is facing the challenge of drug abuse, adding that one person out of every seven Nigerian takes drugs.
“Drugs does not discriminate from one part of the country to another nor on the basis of gender or religion.
We can’t do it alone, we need the collaboration of organisations like NYSC in facing the challenge of drug demand in the country”, Marwa said.
He decried inadequate rehabilitation facilities, adding that efforts are on-going for the creation of more rehabilitation and counselling centres at the grassroots across the country.
Marwa said Corps Members, especially the medical and para-medics will be able to train counsellors that will work at the proposed rehabilitation centers.

President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.
In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.
He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.
President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.
While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.
President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.
He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.
According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
