Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has unveiled his plans to commence drug tests for political office holders, civil servants and students seeking admission into tertiary institutions in the state.
This was conveyed in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammed Garba, on Friday, to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse.
According to him, the governor is ready to begin a compulsory drug test for all when the state Drug Administration Agency begins operation.
”The Ganduje-led administration has been passionate about fighting illicit drug trafficking and abuse and has set up a task force,” he said.
“The governor instituted programmes aimed at curtailing drug abuse. This includes setting up and streamlining activities for the state Task Force committee, which had intercepted and destroyed about a billion naira worth of drugs,” he added.
