It is a known fact that education is the instrument for economic
empowerment and development of sustainable economy. No wonder, one of the
national education goals is "the acquisition of appropriate skills and the
development of mental, physical and social abilities and competencies as
equipment for the individual to live and contribute to the development of the
society".
This and many more could not be unconnected with the drive to ensure
qualitative education is provided for the children being he cradle to any
developing nation to attain
greatness in the comity of nations.The
commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Anambra state, Mr. Sule
Momdu has buoyed to invest all it takes to ensure children are given the right
to education and be informed about the danger in drug abuse and trafficking.
In an open remark, to mark the 2015/2016 the third NDLEA Education quiz
award in Awka, Mr. Momodu said the project was carved out to catch them young to instill
discipline and teach them about the history of Nigeria where value and respect
for tribes and names are protected against immoral approaches that endears many
now to drug consumption and trafficking.
He urged parents and guardians to inculcate the value of cultural
development and solicit for drive that will bring the children closer to their
history.
“All this aim is by making you better student, we also believe that this
quiz will encourage others to be members of NDLEA Drug Free Club of various
schools in the state, that is the only way we can catch you young to
indoctrinate you on the danger of drug abuse and trafficking”.
He lamented the decay and neglect to programme that will improve the
standard of education in the country by private investors, leaving everything
in the hands of government but encouraged well meaning Nigerians to join
hands with NDLEA to rebrand the children on the importance of getting qualitative
education and upholding the values that make us Africans, according to him,
Africans are not known for drug abuse and trafficking.
The NDLEA Scribe in Anambra state also took turn to announce
incentives attached to winning schools , which according to him will encourage
others schools to take their Drug Free Club Seriously and to other school to
also be persuaded to set up one in their different schools in the state.
“The Winning School will get a price, the student representing the
winning school will take home a laptop and a Television Set, the second
position will go home with TV Set, equally the third position. Also,
first-second & third, you will all go home with your registration fee for
NECO, WAEC & JAMB, while the teacher that will accompany the winning school
will take home N20.000, the teacher that will accompany the school with the
first runner-up will go home with N15,000, while the third runner-up teacher
will go home with N10,000 respectively”.
“ I take this quiz very serious, I see it as NDLEA contribution to
fighting the scourge of drug abuse and trafficking from the cradle, everything
we do, we take it will all seriousness, my dear students , the game is here
again, if you have prepared very well, you will reduce the burden of your
parents to pay your WAEC, NECO and JAMB if you win and you will go home with a
laptop and a TV set for your parent to put in the house. I think this is
mouth-watering gesture to encourage student to take their studies very
serious”. He Submitted.
