 NDLEA Proposes Mandatory Drug Tests For Varsity Admissions

She explained that this would “Serve as a preventive measure while offering early intervention and counselling for those already using drugs to prevent them from becoming problematic users”.


Hajia Abiola-Popoola made the suggestion during a radio programme in Ilorin.


The NDLEA boss further expressed concern over the rising number of drug users in the country.

“This shows that the society is in trouble because a woman is the administrator of the home.”
