The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III on Thursday expressed concern for the growing trend of drug abuse among women and youth.

Speaking at the formal opening of the Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria (SOGON) 51st Annual National Conference in Sokoto, Abubakar asked the society to use its platform in reversing the trend.

Highlights: The monarch further advocated for the ban production, sale and consumption of such drugs that were being abused.
