    An NGO, Initiative Against Kidnapping, Human Trafficking, Child Abuse and Drug Abuse (AKH-TRACADA), has called on stakeholders and governments at all levels to invest in prevention and treatment programs for halt the wave of drug abuse in the country.

    The founder of the organization, Belonwu Ezeanyaeche, made this call in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja to mark the 2024 International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.”

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the theme of the 2024 World Drug Day is: “The evidence is clear; Invest in prevention.”

    Ezeanyaeche, who also serves as National Coordinator, said drug abuse continues to be a global threat that needs to be addressed by everyone together to curb its rise and devastating impact on society.

    He stressed that the federal government must begin to see the problem of drug abuse as a public health problem.

    He said drugs, drug abuse and illegal drug trafficking are the models for most crimes committed in the country.

    According to him, between 70 and 75 percent of crimes committed worldwide were committed under the influence of drugs. Where there is crime there are drugs, and where there are drugs there is crime.

    “The need to prevent drug abuse, especially at a popular level, has become imperative, since the drug problem does not depend on age, race, gender or social status.

    “The government needs to invest much more in prevention and treatment programs that include training, awareness, advocacy and policy formulation to stem the tide of drug abuse.

    “The government, at all levels, must ensure that treatment centers are available, that prevention programs are in place and that people who use drugs have the opportunity to become aware of reality and be prepared for change,” he said.

    The head of the NGO advised those who are already involved in drug abuse to make a decision that they really want to stop drug abuse and seek appropriate help.

    He stressed that one way to effectively prevent drug abuse among young people is to give them confidence, strength, skills and the ability to say “no” to drugs.

    He assured the NGO’s willingness to work with all stakeholders to prevent drug abuse and the harm that drugs can cause to families and society at large.

    “We will continually work with authorities to enforce drug laws and prevent the flow and seizure of illegal drugs.”

    “Together we can tackle the global drug problem,” he said.

    The head of the NGO called for collaboration with active organizations and civil society organizations (CSOs) for capacity building, particularly in the areas of drug abuse, awareness, awareness and prevention strategy.

    He advised young people not to ruin their lives through drug abuse and urged parents to take care of their children and guide them in the right direction.

    Ezeanyaeche assured that the NGO would continue to work with the media and the anti-narcotics agency to achieve its goal of a drug-free society.

    The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is celebrated every year on June 26 to strengthen action and collaboration for a world free from drug abuse.
