Members of the House also demanded President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on drug abuse in Nigeria.
A member of the House, Francis Agbo, in a motion of urgent national importance, drew the attention of the federal legislators to the operations of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to combat trafficking and consumption of hard drugs in the country.
