Nigeria

ISSUP Nigeria, in collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Department of Guidance and Counselling (University of Ibadan), organised a Substance Use Prevention Sensitization Programme for postgraduate students.

The programme aimed to strengthen participants' knowledge and understanding of evidence-based substance use prevention while equipping them with practical skills and preventive strategies to address substance use challenges within educational institutions and the wider community.

ISSUP Nigeria joined the global community on June 26 to commemorate the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, under the theme: “The Evidence is Clear: Invest in Prevention.”

Across the country, members of ISSUP Nigeria were actively involved in a range of activities, reaching young people in schools, engaging policymakers, raising awareness in local communities, and sharing prevention messages through media and online platforms.
