The association was represented by its officials during the presentation - Amb. Nafiu Yushau Zugachi of Bayero University Kano (BUK); Amb. Hauwau Ibrahim of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU); Amb. Aliyu Yakubu of Federal University Dutse (FUD); and Amb. Aliyu Sulaiman of Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto (UDUSK).

Her laboratory is said to be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, serving over 3,000 clients and with over 8,000 test results within its first year of operations.

While expressing her appreciation, Mrs Garba said she is collaborating with independent bodies such as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the fight against drug abuse among teenagers and young adults.
