Former President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed worries over the current state of things in Nigeria.
He said most of the problems facing the country are caused by drug abuse.
He spoke when the Chief Executive Officer of the Albino Foundation, Jake Epelle, its management, and partners paid him a courtesy visit to appreciate him for paying the bills of persons with albinism to undergo surgery against cancer overseas.
Jonathan said during the meeting that Nigeria’s health sector needs quick upgrading to meet up with international standards and cater for the citizens.
He also added that Nigerians now face more mental challenges due to the situation of the country.
He said, “Most of these crimes perpetrated are drug-induced because no sane Nigerian will just go and commit crime except he is high on something. Imagine starting your day with the news of killing in the morning, it leaves an impression on your mind. We need to also look into issues of mental health.
“Now, we have cults in primary and secondary schools; then, it was in tertiary institutions, but you now see children in these schools thinking of how to kill their mates. This is sad.”
