Popular Nigerian artiste, Azeez Fashola who is professionally known as Naira Marley, has been crowned ambassador of fight against drug abuse in Nigeria.
The Chairman, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Buba Marwa, on Thursday, crowned the musician who is popularly referred to as “Igbo labi,” (loosely translated as “marijuana born”).
The music star at the headquarters of the NDLEA in Abuja, said that drug abuse is dangerous to people’s health.
“It’s your boy Naira Marley, I’ll like to urge my fans – Marlians and all Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs because it’s not good for your well-being. Stop substance abuse of any form; I’ve keyed into this campaign to support the NDLEA to stop drugs on the streets. It’s not good, it makes you go back to doing crime,” Naira Marley said.
Reacting to the development, the spokesperson for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, said, “See who’s on board @ndlea_nigeria War Against Drug Abuse advocacy campaign; it’s your favourite, Naira Marley.”
