Addiction is not a life sentence. Across Nigeria and beyond, stories of recovery are emerging that show us what is possible with the right support. These are not isolated incidents but a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of a community that refuses to give up.
From Lost to Graduating with Honors
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has shared inspiring success stories from their rehabilitation programs. According to NDLEA reports, two clients in treatment sat for the JAMB exam last year where one scored an impressive 296, despite previously dropping out of three universities (Punch Nigeria, New Telegraph). Another client, after completing his rehabilitation, went on to excel academically and win awards at Birmingham University. These are not just academic victories; they are stories of men who regained focus, reclaimed their future, and rediscovered their potential.
