ABSTRACT
This study was carried out on drugs and alcoholism among cab riders in FCT Abuja, using NUTRW branch of Apo legislative quarters as a case study. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprised of cab riders and administrative officers in NUTRW branch of Apo legislative quarters. In determining the sample size, the researcher purposefully selected 53 respondents and 50 were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables, and mean scores. The result of the findings reveals that the prevalence of the use of alcohol and drugs among cab riders in Abuja is high. The study also revealed that the use of alcohol and drugs among cab riders in Abuja increases the risk of road accidents. Furthermore, the study revealed that the factors that leads to the use of alcohol and drugs among cab riders in Abuja include; age, level of education, peer pressure, environment, culture. Therefore, it is recommended that Government should organize routine targeted health education interventions for these commercial drivers; there is also a need to step up the process of enactment of laws to determine legal alcohol drinking limit in Nigeria so that ‘drinking under influence’ and all its attendant consequences, can be addressed through education and enforcement of regulations guiding it. This should also be done for other substances of abuse. To mention but a few.
