ISSUP Nigeria has paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), High Chief Dr. Anthony Okechukwu Ojukwu, SAN, as part of efforts to strengthen collaboration on rights-based approaches to substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery in Nigeria.
ISSUP Nigeria marked a major milestone with a leadership transition ceremony that combined the inauguration of new executive officers with a warm send-off for the outgoing team. The moment signalled continuity, renewal, and the beginning of a fresh chapter for the National Chapter in Nigeria.
ISSUP Nigeria joined the global community on June 26 to commemorate the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, under the theme: “The Evidence is Clear: Invest in Prevention.”
Across the country, members of ISSUP Nigeria were actively involved in a range of activities, reaching young people in schools, engaging policymakers, raising awareness in local communities, and sharing prevention messages through media and online platforms.
The 6th National Conference and Annual General Meeting of ISSUP Nigeria was held under the theme "Strengthening Family Support Systems for Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery."
This year’s meeting emphasized the critical role of families in addressing substance use disorders. Experts, practitioners, and stakeholders from across Nigeria gathered to discuss strategies for enhancing family involvement in prevention, effective treatment approaches, and sustained recovery for individuals struggling with substance use.
