The People’s Parliament, a quarterly public discussion about important problems facing the country, attended by Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, concluded that without collaboration by the family, school system, faith-based organizations, community groups, traditional institutions and the government, Nigeria can easily go down the road of out-of-control violence, crime, wasteful expenditure and broken family relationships.
Describing how staggering the problem has become, one of the panelists, the Director of Media and Advocacy at the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mr. Femi Babafemi, disclosed that five years ago, more than 14 million Nigerians were already using illicit drugs, three times the global average.
