Speaking at a reception organised by the Kaduna branch of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) in honour of its new National President and Deputy President (North), Ayuba Ibrahim and Aisha Isyaku, the Governor urged the society to address the challenges bordering on abuse of opioids by youths.

Represented by the Director General of Kaduna State Bureau for Substance Abuse (KADBUSA), Joseph Ike, Governor Sani noted that 1 out of 7 youths use drugs in Nigeria, quoting the 2018 United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) survey.

“Here in North-Western Nigeria, we see an unacceptably high prevalence of abuse of pharmaceutical opioids like Tramadol and Codeine. This is especially worrying because we know that 1 out of 5 users of these types of drugs are addicted to them and this portends not just a public health but security and developmental challenge for the region.

“With the new leadership at the national level, and with Pharm. Ibrahim Tanko Ibrahim as President and Pharm. Aisha Tukur Isyaku as Deputy President (North), we are confident that this partnership will be further strengthened and yield even greater results for the betterment of healthcare in Kaduna State and Nigeria as a whole,” Gov Sani said.
