Establishment of Drug Free Ambassadors (DFA) was a proactive measure to curb drug abuse. This development follows the determination to curb the menace of drug abuse among teenagers/Youths and forestall related juvenile delinquencies.
Several researches and investigations had been conducted and it was discovered that both gender (male/female) Youths and Students take hard drugs.
Drug Free Ambassadors is aimed at promoting youth/Student- oriented programmes that would provide alternative activities to drug involvement. It was being established to educate Youths/students on the danger inherent in taking drugs not prescribed by doctors and other harmful substances.
The main objective of DFA is to ensure that Youths and Students are well informed so as to avoid and reduce the intake of hard drugs.
DFA goal is to explore and promote economic development potential among Nigerian youths and help them appreciate that it is profitable to live a healthy life without necessarily engaging in indiscriminate use of illicit substances.
NDLEA, Community Leaders and Principals of various secondary schools had been informed and are committed to partner with Drug Free Ambassadors to eradicate drug peddling among the Youths and students.
Fellow Ambassadors, We must advocate the fight against drug and substance abuse in our dear States and Nigeria because our future generation must be in safe hands.
DFA are urging fellow Youths and students to join the drug free ambassadors and avoid taking illicit drugs that could jeopardise their future.
