The deputy vice chancellor of KWASU, Prof.  Mashood Jimba disclosed this during an interaction with newsmen in Ilorin, the state capital.

He said that  500 students were tested on the first day of the drug test’s commencement on the institution’s campus in Malete.

While praising the NDLEA   for taking the war on drug abuse to schools, Jimba said,” Now our universities are doing drug tests for their students.  As a matter of fact, KWASU is the second university in Nigeria to have started that programme.”

“We recently held a flag-off ceremony of the drug test programme, organized by the Kwara State government in collaboration with the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency.

“This is an effort to identify those who are abusers of drugs and anyone who is detected to be using drugs through the test will be taken for counselling and rehabilitation. The counselling is free while the cost of the rehabilitation will be shouldered by the family of the students.

“On the day of the flag off of the drug test, over 500 students were tested, and none of them tested positive for drug use, ” Jimba said.

He added:  “We, as a school, are trying our best to tackle the problem of drug abuse on our campus, especially through the intelligence gathering mechanism.”
