The commander
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Anambra State Command, Sir Sule Momodu has
explained that by the virtue of the abundant mineral resources and fertile land
mass in Nigeria no citizen should be found idle and unemployed.
The commander while stating this when a group under the
auspices of Anambra Online Publishers (AOP) paid him a courtesy visit at his
office, explained that Nigerians especially the youths had all they need to get
employed and engaged themselves positively
He explained that if families in Nigeria embraced farming
and other forms of agriculture as practiced in the past, unemployment would not
only reduce to its barest minimum but will go along way to improve the nations
economy hence the attenuation of the governments over independence on crude oil
to run its programs
He further hinted that if the potentials in the agricultural
sector where tapped into, the numerous youths who indulge in drug abuse and
trafficking would be reduced as they will be positively engaged
His words “there is nothing like unemployment its just that
we are lazy and always expecting manner to fall from heaven for us, hoping that
we will someday suddenly meet riches without working hard for it.
The only
short cut to wealth is hard work; one of the best professions that pay very
well is farming”.
“Nigeria is blessed with good soil to cultivate all sort of
crop its just laziness that will make one chose to stay idle in the name of
looking for government or office, work this idleness leads to so many ill things.
Drug trafficking and drugs abuse will be a thing of the past if we are all
engaged because if you are engaged no hard drug dealer will meet you and ask
you to smuggle drugs for him or her”
On the effort the command was making to eliminate drug
trafficking in the state Mr Momodu revealed that Obosi Town in Idemili North
local government area was the major habitant of hard drug dealers in the state
and confirmed the readiness of the agency to get rid of all the drug kingpins
in the area
He assured that soon Anambra will be a better place to live
and invest in as drug abuse and trafficking will to a reasonable extend be abated
in the state.
He however thanked the group Anambra Online Publishers (AOP)
for the visit and exhorted them to courageously carry out their publishing
profession especially while tacking sensitive issues as the development of
Nigeria was somewise dependent on how effectively they carried out their
duties.
