Otti made the observation when he declared open the 2024 annual national convention of the National Association of Nigerian Student Nurses and Midwives in Umuahia, the state capital.

“This symposium is a timely and much needed platform to explore the challenges posed by drug abuse and to create solutions for safeguarding the future of our nation,” he asserted.

Represented by his special assistance on students’ affairs, Chinedu Nwosu, he said the association is critical in the ongoing battle against drug abuse in the country through public sensitisation.

Otti, who noted that his administration had implemented many strategies against “the urgly development,” commended the association for choosing the state for the convention.

The convention, themed: ‘The effects of substance use among youths,” featured  discussions on critical issues facing healthcare professionals and the society at large.
