AS a socially responsible entity, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, says it would do everything within its power to support the fight against drug trafficking in Nigeria.

“Consumption of illicit drugs is a major problem in this country, ravaging communities and all categories of people and dispositions. As an enabler organization that is very conscious of what happens in our country, we are very interested in the containment of illicit drugs in Nigeria”, he said.
Earlier, Marwa appealed to the corporation for support in the fight against the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria.
He commended the NNPC GMD for his progressive doggedness and result-oriented leadership.
