The Kano State Government has called on all 44 local government chairmen to take the lead in the fight against drug abuse, describing it as a collective responsibility crucial to safeguarding the future of the state’s youth.

Speaking at a training workshop for the chairmen organised by the Kano Reformative Centre at Tahir Guest Palace, the deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Gwarzo, represented by the commissioner for Sports, Mustapha Rabiu, said the administration remains steadfast in supporting initiatives that foster collective action against drug abuse.

Gwarzo noted that drug abuse is not merely a health issue but a social, economic, and security challenge that undermines community stability and youth development.

He emphasised that local government chairmen, being the closest to the people, are strategically positioned to drive grassroots interventions through community mobilisation, advocacy, and collaboration.

“The chosen theme, ‘United Against Drug Abuse: A Collective-Based Strategy,’ is timely and strategic.

“Confronting this menace requires a coordinated, multi-sectoral approach. Let this training translate into sustained advocacy and stronger collaboration with traditional and religious leaders, youth groups, and civil society.”

In her welcome address, the Kano Reformative Centre coordinator, Cheryl Aminta Kwagga, said the workshop was designed to equip local government leaders with practical strategies for preventing, rehabilitating, and reintegrating drug abuse victims.

She commended the NDLEA, UNODC, medical experts, and security agencies for their partnership in the initiative.

Also delivering a goodwill message, the NDLEA State Commander, ACGN Idris Abubakar, represented by DCN Maimuna Muhammad, lauded the programme’s focus on grassroots engagement, noting that curbing drug abuse demands sustained cooperation among government, community leaders, and security agencies.

He, however, reaffirmed NDLEA’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with all stakeholders to achieve a drug-free Kano and a safer Nigeria.
