The contemporary issue on Nigerian youths toward engaging into hard drug abuses is disheartening and debilitating Over 11 per cent of youth’s population in Nigeria take hard drugs like tramadol, cocaine, Shisha mix among others which are fondly use now Ballon, Banku, ice to mention few. A report by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime in Nigeria, indicating that 14.4% of citizens aged between 15 and 64 abuse drugs, which he said is significantly higher than the global average of 5.6%.
In addition current projections suggest an 11 per cent rise in the number of people who use drugs globally by 2030 – and a marked increase of 40 per cent in Africa, due to its rapidly growing and young population In Nigeria, this would signify that the country will have to grapple with approximately 20 million drug users by 2030, further deepening the public health and public security challenge.
