 NDLEA UNVEILS DGITAL DRUG INTEGRITY TEST FOR TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS


Nigeria is taking a new step towards protecting young people and promoting integrity across its  tertiary institutions, as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency rolls out a digital Drug Integrity Test aimed at early detection of drug use, strengthening student wellbeing, and aligning the country with global best practices.


Fatima Sanusi Karaye reports that 

following rising concern over drug abuse in Nigerian schools, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has introduced a new Drug Integrity Test for tertiary institutions.


The move aligns with resolutions from the 68th National Council on Education in Akure, aimed at strengthening student protection and early intervention.


The evidence-based, non-punitive test is designed to detect early drug use, support counselling and rehabilitation, and promote campus-wide wellbeing, to be implemented via a centralised digital platform ensuring transparency, secure certification, and real-time monitoring.


The agency says drug abuse is increasingly disrupting learning, damaging young people’s health and placing many students at risk of dropping out of school.

Several foreign embassies now recognise the certification as part of visa requirements, placing Nigerian institutions on a globally accepted standard.
