The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said six standard rehabilitation centres will be established in each geo-political zone of Nigeria starting from 2022.
Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, disclosed this at the 5th Biennial National Symposium on Drugs and Drug Policy in Nigeria, held on Thursday in Abuja.
Marwa, who was the Guest of Honour at the symposium, said that the decision was part of efforts to treat the high number of persons suffering from drug addiction in the country.
He said that when established, the centres would complement various efforts by the Federal, State and Local Governments.
Marwa said that three of the centres would start next year as already proposed in the 2022 budget.
