High Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, has partnered with a non governmental organization identified as Pentaglo Nig. Ltd to fight against youths use of hard drug in Niger Delta region.
The group, headed by Niger Delta humanitarian Mr. Seisingha Pondi, who is fondly called Soso, condemned the illicit drug use among young people in the Niger Delta.
The presidential amnesty administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, , commended them for their outstanding role. He said ”That all well-meaning people and organizations in Nigeria, not only in the Niger Delta, but nationwide, should support this positive development.”
According to him, ” Rehabilitation and reintegration of young people who were once involved in violent crimes back into the society is one of the primary goals of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. Which according to him, is the same goal the Group is pursuing”
He claimed that the Group’s initiative is exactly what is needed in these trying times, as more and more boys and girls are becoming addicted to using hard drugs and substances like cocaine, heroin, Indian hemp, Tramadol, and other illegal substances that are harmful to their health.
Dr. Otuaro also said that unless immediate action is taken, this aberration, which is quickly spreading among young people, would continue to ruin the lives of the children, who hold the key to the future of our beloved country Nigeria.
