Kazeem Adeniran, Assistant Chief Regulatory Officer, Investigation and Enforcement Department, NAFDAC, Apapa, Lagos, warned while speaking with journalists on Friday in Ota, Ogun.
Mr Adeniran identified abuse of alcohol as one of the major causes of crime in the country.
“We are appealing to youths in the country to desist from abuse of alcohol because this could destroy their future,” he said.
Mr Adeniran also blamed some road traffic crashes on the use of alcohol by motorists because of its negative effects on sense of reasoning.
