THE Chairman of the Multi Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Trafficking, Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, Esq., has inaugurated nine subcommittees to strengthen the fight against drug abuse and trafficking in Kano State, charging members to demonstrate greater commitment, dedication and determination in the discharge of their responsibilities.
News Point Nigeria reports that the inauguration took place on Friday, August 21, 2026, as the Chairman reminded members of the enormity of the task before them and stressed that the success of the Task Force would depend largely on the seriousness and commitment with which each committee approaches its assignment.
The development was contained in a statement signed by Lamara Garba, mnipr, Member, Media and Publicity Committee of the Multi Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Trafficking (MATFDAT).
Muhyi Magaji urged members of the subcommittees to redouble their efforts, work collectively and remain focused on the objectives of the Task Force, noting that the fight against drug abuse and trafficking requires sustained commitment, effective coordination and a shared sense of responsibility.
According to him, the committees were established to provide a more coordinated and specialised approach to tackling the various dimensions of the drug problem, while ensuring that relevant stakeholders work together towards achieving lasting results.
The nine committees inaugurated are Finance; Media and Publicity; Advocacy and Sensitisation; Licences, Inventory and Verification; Compliance, Inspection and Electronic Tracking; Monitoring and Implementation; Intelligence; Reformative and Traditional Council; and Anti-Drug Coordination Committee.
The structure, according to the Chairman, also provides for coordinated responsibilities across the various areas of intervention in the campaign against drug abuse and trafficking.
Muhyi Magaji urged the members to see their appointments as a call to service rather than merely an assignment, stressing that the responsibilities placed before them demand discipline, professionalism and a strong commitment to the collective interest.
He further encouraged the committees to maintain effective collaboration and ensure that their activities translate into concrete results in the ongoing campaign against drug abuse and trafficking.
The inauguration, he said, marks another step in the efforts of the Multi Agency Task Force to strengthen institutional coordination and broaden the response to drug-related challenges.
The nine subcommittees are expected to contribute their expertise towards building a more effective and sustainable anti-drug campaign, as Kano State intensifies efforts to tackle the growing challenges associated with drug abuse and trafficking.
