CHAPTER FIVE

SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION


5.1 Summary
The study evaluated the impact of Christians in curbing the menace of drug abuse among
student in Owerri, North Local Government Area, Imo State.
The researchers formulated five research questions to guide the study. Related literature was
reviewed. Data was collected by using questionnaire from a sample of one hundred and fifty
(150) respondents. Data analysis was made using simple frequency and percentage for the
research questions; From the result, it was found that alcoholism and drug abuse has a
significant effect on the health, social life, career, and educational performance of student,
church should help the student by coming in to curb the menace, Governmental organizations
like Nigeria Drugs Law Enforcement Agency should also help by putting hand on desk with
the church to curb the menace.

5.2 Recommendations
The recommendations to the menace of drug abuse among the students are highlighted
below:
i. Parents should train up their children in the fear of the Lord and they should re-
orientate them on the adverse of drug abuse on their health, society and human
dignity because charity begins at home as they say.
ii. The Ministry of Education (Federal and State) should add to their curricula “Drug
Education” for both the primary, secondary and tertiary schools in Nigeria. They
should always organize lectures, seminars, rallies, film show etc for the Nigerian
youths on the effects of drug abuse.
iii. National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), National Agency for Food and
Drug Abuse Control and other control groups should not relent in carrying out their
responsibilities on drug abuse in order to make Nigeria a drug abuse free society with
a special focus on the students because they are the future leaders of this great
country, Nigeria.
iv. The Nigerian government as a whole should always be educating the public on the
dangers of drug abuse through awareness, programme for the Nigerian youths etc.
v. Finally the church should not fail in her roles prayer, preaching etc in order to control
or stop drug abuse in the Nigerian society.

5.3 Conclusion.
Drug is a substance that affects the function of a living cell, which is used to cure and
prevent the occurrence of illness. A drug becomes a “medicine” when it is used to save life, it
becomes “poison” when it causes death, it becomes “mis-use” when people indulge in self
medication to cure illness and it becomes “abuse” when it is used indiscriminately. Due to
the habitual use of drugs, drug addicts especially youths cannot do without it and it has been
a problem to students in Owerri North LGA, Imo State, our country Nigeria and the world in
general.
The effect of drug abuse among the Nigerian students has been a stigma to the
society. The effects of drug abuse especially among our students and society are so
devastating. Many of the students depend on one form of drug or the other. The rate at which
youths abuse drugs is so alarming and worrisome. Many students have tried one drug or the
other and many of them are drug abusers today. The family, church, community, school,
Nigerian government have role to play in controlling drug abuse in Nigeria, Bamaiyi (2007)
had this to say:
“Certification or no certification, Nigeria must continue the drug war. In
this hide and seek game, our primary objective is to salvage the nation
from the scourge of hard drug”.
Proverbs chapter 14 verse 12 says “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its
end is the way of death”. In this regard, students should reject drug abuse because it may
seem good to them but it leads to doom.
Finally the researcher is pleading that all hands should be on deck to make sure that
drug abuse is eradicated or curbed in our country Nigeria so that our students should be
useful to themselves, Their individual families and our country Nigeria as a whole.
