 The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has dismissed the position of the Undostated Governor, Rotimi Akeridolu, and some members of the National Assembly on the legalization of cannabis in the country. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NDLEA, retired Brigadier-General Buber Mara, stated this in Abu-Jawal unveiling activities to commemorate this year's International Day Against Drug Abuse and Drug Trafficking. All calling on all stakeholders to join the fight against drug trafficking. Mara says Nigeria is still ranked highest in the use of cannabis globally. Why will you be seen fire and step into it? Yes, the issue of the use of cannabis for medical, medicinal purposes is approved. In some countries, not in all. Not in all. And now we have to look at our own circumstances here. It's possible the time will come for us to rethink, but this is not the time. This is definitely not the time for Nigeria with the highest prevalence of use. Go to legal states. The drug use prevalence is 33% from that survey. Most of that is from cannabis and the Southwest itself. Bondu State is the greatest grower of this substance. And the NDLEA will continue to burn any farm that we find and arrest the perpetrators. This year's theme is share facts on drugs and save lives. It's critical to know the facts about drugs. There's a lot of myth, a lot of misinformation circulating. And it is critical, especially for you, ladies and gentlemen of the press, to know the facts of drugs on drugs. And to only share information from verified sources such as UNODC, NDLEA and other official sources.
