Four out of 10 undergraduates are into drugs NDLEA.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Oyo State Command, says about four to five out of 10 undergraduates are into drugs.
The state NDLEA Commander, Olayinke Joe-Fadile, disclosed this in Ibadan on Wednesday during the command’s rally in commemoration of the 2025 International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The day, also known as World Drug Day, is marked every June 26 to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drug abuse.
The theme of the 2025 celebration is “The Evidence is Clear: Invest in Prevention, Break the Circle”.
According to Joe-Fadile, the menace of drug abuse is getting more worrisome as statistics have shown that younger people are getting exposed to drug use and offences.
“We are intensifying efforts on our campaigns across primary and secondary schools, including tertiary institutions in the state, because the demography of people using drugs is getting lower by the day.
“We now can see children from age nine upward taking drugs.
