Zamfara State government has called for partnership with the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, in the fight against drug abuse and human trafficking.
Executive Secretary, Zamfara State Substance Abuse Control and Human Trafficking Agency, Mr Ishaq Anka, made the call yesterday in Gusau when he visited the NYSC management.
Anka described drug abuse and human trafficking as the world’s largest crime businesses, which affect people of all ages.
He said the agency was established by Governor Dauda Lawal to combat the twin problems in the state.
He added that the agency had lined up different programmes to actualise its mandate.
Anka described NYSC as a critical institution that moulds tomorrow’s leaders and called for its support in enlightening the populace.
In a remark, the State NYSC Coordinator, Mallam Lawan Ahmed, thanked the agency for identifying with the scheme.
Ahmed described drug abuse as a serious issue that breeds criminality in the society.
According to him, the scheme, through its Community Development Initiative, is actively involved in the campaign against the menace.
“We are ready and willing to collaborate with you. NYSC already has corps members on ground campaigning against these issues.
”On camp, we also sensitise corps members on drug abuse, illegal migration and human trafficking.
“We will work with you to ensure that this message spreads across board”, the state NYSC boss said. NAN
