The State Project Coordinator for the North East Multisectoral Crisis Recovery Project (MCRP), Adamawa State Project Coordination Unit, Dr. Maurice Vunobolki has been honored as the War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) Ambassador by the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). This recognition came during the flag-off of a sensitization campaign against drug abuse in Adamawa, organized collaboratively by the MCRP and NDLEA.

The decoration was presented on behalf of NDLEA Chairman Gen. Buba Marwa (Rtd.) by ACGN Idris Mohammed Bello, the Zonal Commander of NDLEA Zone B, along with the State Commandant and other key officials of the Agency. They acknowledged Dr. Vunobolki’s significant contributions to youth empowerment initiatives in the state and expressed gratitude to the MCRP for its partnership in promoting a drug-free society.

In response, Dr. Maurice Vunobolki emphasized that drug abuse was identified as a key factor contributing to crises during an assessment mission. This highlighted the urgent need for MCRP to collaborate with the NDLEA on a comprehensive awareness campaign to tackle the menace.

The campaign aimed to educate and inform secondary school students and the broader public about the dangers of drug abuse, illicit trafficking, and their adverse effects on health, academic success, and future opportunities. It sought to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to resist peer pressure and make informed choices regarding drug use, while also fostering open communication about drug abuse and addiction within schools, families, and communities.
