The Admiralty University of Nigeria (ADUN) has pledged full support to the Ogwashi-Ukwu Police Area Command’s Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) in its forthcoming sensitization campaign against drug abuse among young people.

The assurance was given on Friday, September 26, 2025, when a delegation from the PCRC paid a courtesy visit to the University.

Briefing the University Management, the Area Command’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. Ojii Israel, outlined the initiative themed “Effect of Drug on Our Young Generation”, scheduled for October. He noted the PCRC’s transition from reactive to proactive approaches and appealed for ADUN’s collaboration.

Receiving the delegation on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Christopher Ndubuisi Bankole Ogbogbo, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Rear Admiral M. M.
