Former President Goodluck Jonathan Former President Goodluck Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has addressed the issue of mental health in the country.

According to him, the crime rates in Nigeria is on an increase hence the numerous insecurity issues in the country.

The former president said this when the management of the Albino Foundation and its partners paid a courtesy call and show their appreciation to him for catering for the bills of persons with albinism to undergo surgery for cancer abroad.

In his statement, he was of the believe that most of the crimes carried out in the country are drug-induced.

The former President said;

“Imagine starting your day with the news of killing in the morning, it leaves an impression on your mind. We need to also look into issues of mental health as well.

"No sane Nigerian will just go and commit crimes except he is high on something.

“Now we have cults in primary and secondary schools, then it was in tertiary institutions, but you now see children in these schools thinking of how to kill their mates, this is sad”.
