Download or read book Drug Abuse and Trafficking in Nigeria written by Moses Ediru and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time like this when the efforts in Nigeria and, indeed, the entire world to curb the menace of drug abuse and trafficking appear to be less than adequate, the need to properly understand the subject before deploying states apparatus becomes paramount. Many writers on this subject have often confused medical law with drug laws, drug abuse with drug misuse, leading to the conclusion that all drugs are liable to abuse. Most worrisome are the inadequacies and inefficiency of Nigerian drug law, which in turn have engendered deficient implementation strategies, leading to a judicial prolapse in the interpretation of relevant penal provisions. It is, therefore, hoped that the academia, enforcement institutions, practising lawyers and, in particular, the judiciary will find the modest contributions in this work useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: B+ (70), Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: The work is focused about substance use and drug addiction in Nigeria. The sub-sections explored the existing landscape of substance use/drug abuse domestically and globally while discussing the illicit use of psychoactive substances and their global health implications. Lastly, management of drug addiction was treated. In Nigeria for instance, there have been growing concerns from various stakeholders from parents of drugs addicts to government regulatory agencies on the burden of drug abuse. The scourge of substance abuse is not limited to the individual; till date its far-reaching implications continues to fuel organized crime, illicit financial flows, corruption, and terrorism/insurgency among others. There is therefore, need for more proactive steps to eliminate substance use problems across various demographics across the country. Interventions should also be considered amid social, cultural and economic variables that persistently stimulate the behaviour.
Download or read book Africa and the War on Drugs written by Neil Carrier and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigerian drug lords in UK prisons, khat-chewing Somali pirates hijacking Western ships, crystal meth-smoking gangs controlling South Africa's streets, and narco-traffickers corrupting the state in Guinea-Bissau: these are some of the vivid images surrounding drugs in Africa which have alarmed policymakers, academics and the general public in recent years. In this revealing and original book, the authors weave these aspects into a provocative argument about Africa's role in the global trade and control of drugs. In doing so, they show how foreign-inspired policies have failed to help African drug users but have strengthened the role of corrupt and brutal law enforcement officers, who are tasked with halting the export of heroin and cocaine to European and American consumer markets. A vital book on an overlooked front of the so-called war on drugs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on previously classified government information and interviews with key officials and drug market insiders in Nigeria, this book is the first ever in-depth analysis of the international and domestic origins of illegal drug control in Africa, exploring the formulation and implementation of Nigerian drug policy between 1985 and 2010. During this period, the country came to be seen as a hub in the global drug trade and the domestic policy set in motion to tackle this perception escalated into Africa's most repressive and long-lasting anti-drug campaign. The book provocatively argues that Nigeria's drug war was not driven by an understanding of the country's drug problems but rather by political calculations made in Nigeria, the US and at the UN. 0Also part of series: History of International Relations Library; 30.
