Reps Advocate Mandatory Test For Secondary School Students [SEE WHY]



The House of Representatives has directed the Ministry of Education to collaborate with the Ministry of Health to develop a mandatory drug test for secondary school students.

This was announced yesterday after the adoption of a motion on the need to introduce mandatory drug tests for secondary school students in Nigeria, by Moshood Oshun at plenary.

While presenting the motion, he noted that the adolescent age remained a critical period in human development and individuals at that age are usually influenced by factors such as experimental curiosity, peer pressure, poor socio-economic conditions at home, and the need for extra energy for daily activities.

The lawmaker said youths are critical stakeholders in fostering socio-economic development in the country, adding that their vulnerability to societal vices necessitates strategic government intervention to secure their well-being and enhance their contributions to national development.

Oshun expressed concern over substance abuse by young people, noting that it was fast becoming a global public health concern.
