The Senate on Tuesday expressed worries over the high rate of hard drugs and narcotics consumption in the country.
The upper chamber consequently resolved to approach the federal government to declare a state of emergency on the high rate of drug abuse in the country.
The Senate also directed its committee on National Agency for Administration Control (NAFDAC), Drugs and Narcotics to liaise with relevant government agencies to organise a national summit on the state of drugs and narcotics abuse in the country.
