DescriptionDr. Daniel Amankwaah, Head of the Prevention and Drug Control Division at the Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), expressed concern over the evolving drug situation in the West African region.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the capacity-building workshop for the Nigerian Epidemio-logical Network on Drug Use (NENDU) on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in Lagos, Nigeria, he noted that only reliable, updated, and comprehensive data will allow for an effective response to this situation. For him, an effective policy relies on reliable data.
To this end, he urged NENDU focal points, who play a key role in this regard, to put into practice the lessons and insights gained from this workshop on data collection, validation, and analysis.
