Drug abuse destroys health, weakens focus, and pushes many young people into crime, depression, and lifelong dependence.

Mr. MD Davids explained how drugs break families, damage communities, and end futures faster than many people expect.

This is why CONASAI stays active in schools, markets, and communities. We teach young people the truth about drugs. We run awareness programs that help families understand early signs. We build partnerships that support prevention and rehabilitation.

Every sensitization effort reduces the number of lives at risk. Share this message. Help us protect our youths.

CONASAI exists to protect young people and families from the spread of drug abuse.

We teach, guide, and support the people who need it most. You see the stories every day. Families broken. Youths trapped. Communities struggling. This is why the mission matters. We push prevention. We push rehabilitation. We push partnerships with national and international bodies.

You can join this movement. Share this message. Follow our work.

The Community Network Against Substance Abuse Initiative congratulates Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, on his reappointment by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This continuity strengthens the national fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. His leadership has driven major reforms in enforcement, intelligence coordination, rehabilitation support, and community sensitization across the country.

CONASAI renews its commitment to supporting the NDLEA through advocacy, community engagement, and multi-agency partnerships. Our work with security agencies, civil society organizations, international bodies, and traditional institutions will continue to align with the Agency’s mission to protect our communities and save the lives of young people.

We look forward to deeper collaboration as we expand the CONASAI Marshal Initiative, intensify school and community outreach, and scale prevention programs across all states.

Congratulations once again to Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa.
Nigeria is safer when leadership is consistent and focused.
