Mr. Tajudeen stated that the partnership with the station would enable the Agency to carry out advocacy and sensitization about the dangers of drug peddling and consumption.
He emphasized that, abuse of illicit substances is a serious problem that has affected every facets of the society irrespective of tribe, religion, economic status or professional background, hence the need to seek collaboration with the media to drive the process and encouraged families whose children and wards are victims to bring them for counseling and rehabilitation.
General Manager of Harvest FM, Mr Shimataver Aondoakaa assured of the readiness of the station to avail the NDLEA the needed support to enable them achieve success.
Mr Aondoakaa who noted the increase in cases of drug abuse in the state said Harvest FM is ready to work with relevant agencies to win the fight against the menace.
