NDLEA Clarifies Cannabis Oil Export Statement as Opinion, Not Government Approval

The NDLEA clarified that its chairman's remarks on cannabis oil export were personal opinions, not official government approval. The agency aims to earn foreign exchange but opposes local use due to existing drug abuse issues.

The Nigerian Academy of Science organized a workshop where this clarification was made, stressing the ongoing study on cannabis oil. Femi Babafemi, the NDLEA's Director of Media Advocacy, highlighted the need for accurate representation and mentioned the agency's stance on the matter pending further input and recommendations.
