The NDLEA Commander in the state, Mr. Muhammad Aminu-Abubakar, made the call on Thursday in Katsina during sensitisation and advocacy for women and youth on drug abuse awareness and prevention.
Aminu-Abubakar expressed the need for the people of the state to contribute their quota in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse.
The NDLEA commander explained that the fight against drug trafficking and abuse was a collective effort of stakeholders, noting that “all hands must be on deck to fight the menace”.
