She warned that the meth scourge could turn Nigeria into a zombie nation within 10 years if nothing is done to battle the scourge.
She raised the alarm while contributing to a motion moved by Henry Nwawuba on Thursday. The lawmaker said 11-year- old children in her constituency are also using the highly addictive drug.
