Premiere Academy and NDLEA Launch Drug Abuse Seminar

Premiere Academy in Abuja collaborated with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to conduct a seminar focused on drug abuse prevention. The event, led by Chief Superintendent Narcot Nduka Augustin and two Assistant Superintendents, aimed to educate students about the health, social, and legal consequences of substance abuse.

Mr. Chri Akinsowon, the principal of Premiere Academy, emphasized the school's commitment to providing a safe and disciplined environment for students, addressing parental concerns about safety and values.

The seminar is part of an annual initiative reflecting the school's zero-tolerance policy towards drug abuse. Statistics indicate that approximately 14 million Nigerians aged 15 to 64 have used drugs at least once, highlighting the need for early education to prevent substance abuse.

The NDLEA team urged students to resist peer pressure and take an active role in campaigns against drug abuse, stressing that drug abuse remains a leading cause of death among Nigerian youth, with devastating long-term effects on physical and mental health.
