1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The resultant effect of drug abuse is
that criminal or anti-social behavior occurs when the person is under
the influence of a drug. Other effects may reflect physical, social, and
psychological harm; The war against drug trafficking in Nigeria has
attracted the concern of the federal government as well as various
stakeholders in the private sector. This is due to the increasing level
of drug trafficking in the country. The reports of drug trafficking and
drug convicted cases in foreign countries reveals that a huge percentage
are Nigerians and many have been jailed for the crime. The Nigerian law
enforcement agency was set up and vested with the responsibility to
arrest, investigate and prosecute of offenses related to drug
trafficking. In other cases they are vested with the responsibility of
destroying hard drugs, plants, and related substances and collaborating
with international drug units to enforce the eradication of the menace.
However, despite the effort of the agency to eradicate the menace, the
level of drug trafficking has been on the increase. There has been some
allegations of corruption of non -conviction of high level drug
traffickers, lack of appropriate technologies, poor funding and
trainings. Other identified issue concerns the lack of clear policy
guidline.Consequently despite the antinarcotics war the Nigerian borders
remains porous enabling increasing influx of drugs and drug
traffickers. It is important at this point to evaluate the performance
of the agency with the view to determining the challenges confronting
the agency in other to proffer appropriate recommendation and solution.
Therefore the problem confronting the study is to appraise reversible
and irreversible effects of drug abuse.
