Pleading with the students, he said “I plead with you, this issue is very critical. I want you students to be ambassadors against the intake of this drug and its trafficking within the southeast.

“Use every channel available to you, starting from your councilor, traditional rulers, church leaders, major stakeholders even to our state governor, become whistle blowers to expose people who dive into this substance that is about to damage our society.

“We are trying to avoid a society whereby the entire populace of our rural area and sub-urban is filled with the highest number of mad men and women which is the effect of crystal meth.

“If you want to prevent madness around you in the next ten years anybody you see that is dealing on it or have traces of taking it, report it immediately and you are going to be rewarded immensely because you are saving lives.

Concluding he said “The era we are now is an era where people are taking that dangerous substance that has rendered society useless”.
