Published February 5, 2018 Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control says it has seized two trucks laden with tramadol. The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Moji Adeyeye, disclosed this at the public launch of drug related health policies and guidelines in Abuja on Monday. At the event tagged, ‘The National Policy for Controlled Medicines, National Guidelines for the Estimation of Psychotropic Substances and Precursors and National Minimum Standards for Drug Dependence Treatment in Nigeria’, the NAFDAC boss said the tramadol would have been sold to youths. Adeyeye said, “Using drugs is centrally controlled or central nervous system-based which means it hits the brain immediately and it changes the user to somebody else. During the first use and second use, the brain of the user becomes very different because of dependence. “They are no longer able to control themselves and that is where the crime, terrorism come in. Therefore, please let the word go out that drug use comes with consequences. “Of course, we are going after the peddlers. As we speak, we just intercepted two lorries full of tramadol this morning. And where are they going? They are going to the Ajegunles of Nigeria, to the Kanos of Nigeria. Who are they targeting? Our children. Therefore, we need to all come in. It’s our business.” The NAFDAC boss said many youths were dying of drug overdose because it was very easy for them to access addictive drugs. She also called on the National Assembly to amend the law such that drug peddlers could be given stiffer penalties. “There are prosecutions and there are arrests. However, personally speaking the sentences are very mild. We need stiffer sentences. There was a case in which someone was sentenced to one and a half years or a fine of N200,000. Is N200,000 enough to pay for a life?” Adeyeye said. She said NAFDAC would be recruiting young pharmacists to visit secondary schools across the country to warn them of the repercussion of drug abuse including the misuse of prescription medicine like codeine. http://punchng.com/nafdac-seizes-two-trucks-of-tramadol/ 3 Likes 1 Share

I heard with one ear that some sisters are also
searching for red hijab ahead of valentine day......
Am like wetin concern c.ronaldo with the death of
dagrin
.
You wanna dress in red and look like fire
extinguisher, or red and black like ampicillin
capsule shioor
.
Likewise the so-called Islamic musicians are also
organizing ''ISLAMIC VALENTINE DAY'', am not
sure if their medular oblangta is being
infected by KURUNA
.
Joo nitori ti Allah iya oko mi, don't join them in
celebrating valentine day ooo, it doesn't concern
you ooo, and if you see anyone that is telling you
nothing is wrong in it, joo jare borrow the
remaining broom buhari and APC used to sweep
