A federal lawmaker Hon Suleiman yahaya kwande member representing Bassa /jos North in the federal house of representative has condemn in the strongest terms the alarming abuse of illicit drugs and substance abuse among the youths and young girls in plateau state and Nigeria at large, he noted that the trend has killed so many youths and left others on the streets and rehabilitation centres across the state, this is not healthy for the state and the Nation at large. The youths are the leaders of today and the back bone of our dear nation if we allow our youths to go this unproductive way while we look the other way as leaders, we may have to contend with serious life threatening problem in the nearest future, hence I will do everything legally and humanly possible to immediately flag off the anti drugs and social vices campaign in my constituency which is a partnership project between my office, some international experts on drugs and crime prevention/rehabilitation and some N.G.O's within the coming days. Hon Suleiman made this statement when he received the Executive council of Global peace & life rescue initiative (GOPRI) led by the programme Director Dr Hashidu Daura over the weekend in jos. Earlier Leader of the delegation Dr daura stated that they were in the house of the lawmaker on behalf of the Executive Director of GOPRI Mr Melvin Ejeh to thank the Federal lawmaker for his pragmatic and timely step in the right to initiative this campaign which will include foreign experts that will provide lasting and practical solution towards the eradication or drastic reduction of the impact of drugs and substance abuse from his constituency and the state at large, and promised to dedicate all their time to this importance project.
