Obaseki blames Drug Abuse in Edo on ASUU Strike

Governor Godwin Obaseki has blamed the increasing rate of drug abuse in the state on the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.

He asserted on Friday while reviewing the state’s security situation for the months of February, March and April.

Obaseki noted that Edo state recorded 19 drug abuse cases in February, 34 cases in March and 23 cases in April.

“Drug abuse is now the number two issue of concern in our state. Our analysis shows that there is a high rate of consumption of drugs in the last few months.

“This is not unconnected with the ASUU strike which has kept many students at home and idle,’’ the governor said.

The review came after a joint security meeting between the state government and representatives of various security agencies in the state.

“I use the opportunity of this meeting to appeal to ASUU and the Federal Government to do all they can to end this strike as soon as possible.

“This is in the interest of the children so that we do not keep them at home and destroy their lives.

“If they are not going to school, as you know the idle mind is a devil’s workshop. One way we hope that we can reduce the use of drugs is if we take these children back to school.

“Another issue is the accident rate. We have observed a slight reduction because of the rains.

“We use this medium to further appeal to the Federal Government that the major roads leading into Edo be repaired, particularly the Benin-Auchi, Okpekpe-Okene roads,’’ he said.
