Anambra State Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Sule Momodu said the state government has commenced plans to construct a rehabilitation centre worth over N120 million.
Momodu made the disclosure when he conducted newsmen round the proposed site in Awka, saying the center is specifically designed to cater for drug-addicted persons in the country.
According to him, the state executive council recently approved the construction of the centre adding that “The project site would be easily accessible due to where it would be located, while the facility would accommodate over fifty persons, as well as offer services to persons addicted to drugs from all parts of the country.”
He said the center will be the first of its kind in the country and would be equipped with the state-of-the-art-facilities to take proper care of drug addicts.
While commending Governor Willie Obiano for initiating the project, Momodu assured him of the support of his command in the fight against illicit drugs in the state.
