Bike riders group, NDLEA launch national students anti-drug abuse campaign
Power bike riders under the auspicies of Jeje Riders Nigeria have flagged off a national students anti-drug campaign.
The bikers kicked off the campaign in Yola Saturday in collaboration with Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), stressing that rising incidence of drug abuse requires collective preventive approach.
Members of the association travelled from across the country to Yola where they were joined by representatives of bike riders groups from Cameroon, Ghana, Benin Republic and Cote d’voir at the Capital Secondary School in Yola where students from schools around the capital city gathered as the audience for the anti-drug abuse messages presented during the ceremony.
In a message to the occasion, President and Chairman of Board of Trustees of the Jeje Riders Nigeria, Ibrahim Tizhe, said the association identifies strongly with youths and had chosen to extend its humanitarian activities to their development by preachibf against drug addiction.
Tizhe said, “We flag off this national campaign here in Yola today and the campaign will go round the country to move the minds of youths away from abuse of drugs.”
The Executive Chairman of the NDLEA, Buba Marwa, speaking through the commander of the NDLEA in Adamawa State, Agboalu Samson, said the joint nationwide students anti-drug abuse campaign with the Jeje Riders proves the point that NDLEA needs collaboration with well-meaning individuals and groups to successfully tackle drug abuse.
“Drug abuse is not a path to thread. Don’t experiment. It delivers lifelong destruction,” Marwa told the students.
Many individual bike readers delivered similar speeches, stressing the points that drugs end dreams and destroy destinies as it takes students from classrooms to where drugs are sold and to a life without purpose.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, who was represented on the ocassion by the state Commissionner of Education, Dr Umar Pella, said the state was proud to host the flag-off ceremony of the anti-drug abuse campaign.
