Cocaine drugs in Nigeria has an estimated 23 million customers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said
that an estimated 16 million Nigerians use Indian hemp
while another seven million are on cocaine and heroin.
Ahmadu Giade, NDLEA chairman, disclosed this at the
official presentation of an anti-drug abuse campaign
tagged 'Be Smart, Don't Start'.
The campaign, which includes a television commercial,
is jointly promoted by the Agency in collaboration with
the Celebrity Drug-Free Club.
"77,488 suspected drug traffickers were arrested by the
NDLEA between 2000 and 2013 for various drug
offences even as over 100 officers died in the line of
duty since the Agency commenced operations in 1990,"
said Mr. Giade.
Members of the Celebrity Drug-Free Club that featured
in the commercial include Dayo Adeneye, Ogun State
Commissioner for Information and Strategy and Chief
Executive Officer of Prime Time Entertainment; Wilson
Ighodalo, President of Drug Salvation Foundation and
Convener of NDLEA Celebrity Drug-Free Club; and
Azuh Arinze, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Yes
Magazine.
Others include Godwin Enakhena, a sports broadcaster;
Uche Nnaji, Chief Executive Officer of Ouch Clothing;
and Wilson Joel, a music producer.
"These ambassadors are genuinely motivated to
contribute their quota to the growth and development of
our country," said Mr. Giade.
"They have invested their time and material resources
towards the success of this campaign. This is one
community service that is worthy of emulation. The
agency will continue to require the assistance and
support of champions in various fields of human
endeavours because effective drug control thrives on the
principle of collective responsibility."
While calling on families, schools, organizations and individuals to take
the campaign beyond the television screen, the NDLEA boss urged
international organizations, corporate bodies and individuals to take
advantage of this opportunity by sponsoring the commercial on national
and international media stations.
"We must continue to work very hard in reducing the number of persons
who use drugs and also support the agency in preventing casualties in the
war against drug cartels.
"Every contribution towards drug control is a worthy investment towards
a peaceful and secure society. Let me appeal to donor agencies to see this
as a viable investment opportunity."
Mr. Ighodalo said members of the club were deeply committed to the anti-
drug abuse campaign.
