Any student who intends gaining admissions into the University of Abuja (UniAbuja) is now mandated to take a drug test.
This is coming from the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’allah who disclosed that this requirement means that the drug test results must equally be presented by prospective students upon admission.
Mr. Na’allah, who made this known at the 27th Pre- Convocation briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, said the institution was working with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to help students involved in drug abuse and to rehabilitate them.
He said the drug status of students is important in order to help them to be free from drugs.
However, he said the students would not be sent out from school if involved in drug abuse, but rather be rehabilitated in collaboration with the NDLEA.
