Renowned educationist in Rivers State, Mr Bright Fidelis, has identified drug abuse as a major problem of the Nigerian society.
Speaking with journalists recently in Okoloma-Afam, headquarters of Oyigbo Local Government Area, Fidelis identified another form of drug abuse which he called “drug of power”, which according to him was the misuse of power by those in authorities to undo members of the public.
Fidelis, the Director of Bright Communications Limited, said abuse of drug and power have negative implications, as the society becomes the casualty, and advised members of the public to desist from abuse of drugs or of power.
He commended Rivers State Government for the efforts made to quell the heat of drug abuse, youth restiveness and other criminal activities in the state currently.
He admonished youths to continue to be responsible people by joining forces with government for the provision of community development services which promote better living standard for them, irrespective of their religious, ethnic and political inclinations.
Fidelis used the opportunity to enjoin the people, especially youths to venture into profit making businesses that would place them in a better and greater height in the society, instead of indulging in negative activities.
