Delta state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Peter Mrakpor, has lent his weight on the activities of the National Association of Nigerian Students Joint Campus Committee NANS/JCC in the fight against cultism, drug abuse and other social vices.
The attorney-general, who is also the chairman of the state taskforce on human trafficking and illegal migration, threw his weight behind the activities of the apex student leadership body when members of NANS/JCC paid him a courtesy visit in Asaba.
Mr Mrakpor charged students to shun cultism and other vices as according to him the state government zero tolerance for crime and criminality was still in full force and non-negotiable.
While pledging his support for the activities and programmes of the student association, the commissioner unveiled the NANS/JCC “SAY No to Drug Abuse and SAY NO to Suicide” campaign which the association proposed to take to all higher institutions of learning across the state.
Earlier, the secretary general of the Delta state NANS/JCC, Comrade Onyishi Oghenetega, said there was need to sensitise the youth against cultism, saying cultism was now a serious social problem in the society, especially in schools and must be tackled head-on.
The association also told the attorney-general that they intend to unveil the Mrakpor Student Movement, a non political movement to promote the principles, ideology and values the commissioner represents as well as to foster peace and establish development among the students’ community.
They expressed appreciation to the A-G whom they described as their “capacity principal” for his fatherly support towards the students community and reassured him of their commitment towards a peaceful Delta.
They promised to promote peace and lead the campaign against anti-social vices such as drug abuse, human trafficking, and militancy amongst others in the state.
