On Thursday last week, Nigeria’s House of Representatives listed for second reading, a Bill seeking to legalise the cultivation and certain kinds of use of Cannabis in the country. It was however stepped down over divergent views on the proposal. JOSHUA EGBODO writes on the drama therein
The now controversial Bill in the opinion of many as introduced, sought to amend the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act 2004, to confer additional responsibility, as well as power on the agency to grant and revoke where necessary, licenses for the cultivation of Cannabis for medicinal purposes.
