In the nearest future, anyone seeking employment into any government industry or ministry, parastatal or agency; or seeking admission into tertiary institution; or even getting married must first have to do drug test.
If people are getting married don’t we ask them to do HIV test? Don’t you ask them to bring (result) of their Genotype Test? Now, if I put the question: How many (parents) want their children to marry drug addicts?”
