Hello there,

I have just noticed that we have more than 3,000 registered users (members) on the Nairaland Forum today.

For celebrating and promoting the growth of Nairaland, Allenpowered and chimanu2000 will be getting a special token of appreciation from Nairaland next week. Previously,
- Allenpowered asked, "how do we celebrate the 1000th member?"
- chimanu2000 asked, "should we do something at the 2000 member point?"

So how should we celebrate this new growth milestone that we've achieved?

Seun.

The Senate has raised the alarm that the 19 Northern states of the federation were under serious threat due to drug abuse.It stated that over three million bottles of codeine syrup were consumed dailyin Kano and Jigawa states alone.The Upper Chamber also disclosed that across the 19 states, women, young girls in tertiary institutions, working class ladies, married, unemployed women displaced by Boko Haram insurgency, among others, were involved in drug abuse, and that in 2015 alone, over 2,205 people were arrested in North-West geo-political zone by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over drug-related abuses.The senators stressed that secondary school studentsconsumed cough syrups regularly.Consequently, the Senate mandated its Joint Committee on Drugs and Narcotics and Health to investigate the growing menace of cough and otherprescriptive drugs abuse and report back to the Senate on the needed legislative interventions to combat the trend.The Upper Chamber also asked the Federal Government to partner withrelevant stakeholders, states, local governments, traditional rulers, Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, NGOs, to create a holistic framework to fight this category of drug abuse, especially in the North.It further mandated the Ministry of Health to provide rehabilitation centres or clinics where victims of drug abuse would be rehabilitated where necessary, and urged the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control,NAFDAC, to embark on a vigorous sensitisation campaign on the dangers of drug abuse and steps in achieving a successful rehabilitation for people with the addiction.In his remarks, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki said the Senate will take necessary actions to reduce the growing menace.He also promised that the Senate will strengthen the NDLEA Act to make the bench become very effective.Saraki said: “I want to commend lawmakers for their contributions. This is becoming a big issue for the country. Yesterday, I had the chance of meeting with pharmaceutical practitioners. We need to amend the NDLEA Act to reflect the current realities.“By this motjion, we are giving hope to every parentin Nigeria that we are committed to tackling the problem of drug abuse in every part of the country, especially in the North.”http://dailypost.ng/2017/10/11/3-million-bottles-codeine-syrup-abused-kano-jigawa-senate/
