Diamond Bank partners Lagos govt to combat drug abuse in schools

As part of her Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Diamond Bank Plc has partnered with the Lagos State Government to host the Lagos State Kick Against Drug Abuse (LASKADA) campaign – a progamme designed to sensitize and educate students on the danger of drug abuse.

Head Corporate Communications, Diamond Bank Plc, Chioma Afe who spoke at the launch of the initiative at Vetland Senior Grammar school, Oko Oba, Lagos revealed that the bank has a huge interest in the future of Nigerian youths and would always strive to advance the social well-being of every Nigerian youth.

According to Mrs. Afe, “The issue of drug abuse in the society has increased alarmingly in the last few years and should be tackled aggressively, especially among young children who are not only devising new avenues to access dangerous substances including combining seemingly harmless household items to create harmful drugs, but are also the target of drug peddlers.”
