Hajia Sefinat Ododo disclosed this while addressing journalists on the sidelines of the activities marking World International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in Lokoja.

The governor’s wife, who was represented by the deputy speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mrs Comfort Ojoma Nwuchola Egwaba, said the state government and the state command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, are already working together to establish the centre.

She noted that her NGO, Ohunene Empowerment Initiative, have been carrying out a lot of enlightenment and sensitisation across the three senatorial districts of the state, to deter youths from engaging in drug abuse.

She called on all stakeholders to join hands with the NDLEA, Ohunene Empowerment Initiative, and all parents to achieve a drug-free society.
