Hopeless Nigerian youths
The increase in the intake of drugs among youths has recently been brought to the fore, following the documentary on codeine abuse by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
According to Senator Shehu Sani, most Nigerian youths take to drug abuse because of the harsh economic environment.
Sani said that the greatest problem is not codeine, but the socio-economic terrain that has made Nigerian youths hopeless.

The Federal Government announced a ban on codeine on May 1, 2018, few days after the BBC interview.
Meanwhile, former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has called forthe decriminalization of marijuana in the country.
