The study looks at how drug addiction affects Jigawa State technical college students’ academic performance. In particular, the study demonstrated that drug use was a contributing factor to technical college students’ subpar performance. Technical college students who use drugs are more likely to experience related issues in the future. The literature review employed the differential association theory to explain the study’s phenomenon. The respondents were chosen using a stratified sample random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was employed as the data gathering tool. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Frequency counts and percentages were used to analyse the acquired data. A frequency distribution table was used to illustrate the data analysis results. The study found that among other substances, students most frequently abuse codeine, Indian hemp, and tramadol. The most frequent motivation for drug abuse is peer pressure. According to the survey, among technical college students, poor performance, lack of focus, and repeating classes are the most frequent consequences of drug consumption. Therefore, the study suggests that appropriate regulations that forbid drug misuse be put in place, such as limiting drug availability, providing effective counselling and orientation, and creating a curriculum that includes courses that educate students about the negative effects of drug abuse and the risks associated with drug use. The results of this study encourage more investigation into the relationship between drug availability and peer influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The study, \u201cEffect of Drug Abuse on the Performance of Technical College Students in Jigawa State, Nigeria\u201d, provides critical insights into the growing issue of substance abuse among youth, particularly technical college students. By employing a structured methodology and a stratified random sampling technique, the research identifies the commonly abused substances, reasons for drug abuse, and its implications on academic performance.<\/span><\/p>

The findings reveal a concerning prevalence of substance abuse, notably tramadol, codeine, and Indian hemp, driven largely by peer pressure. The study underscores significant consequences, such as poor grades, class repetitions, and behavioral issues, which not only hinder individual academic achievements but also threaten the broader educational objectives of technical colleges.<\/span><\/p>

This research contributes to the fields of education, public health, and sociology by:<\/span><\/p>

1. Enhancing Understanding: Offering empirical evidence on the link between drug abuse and academic performance, which is crucial for stakeholders in education and policy formulation.<\/span><\/p>

2. Policy Implications: Informing the development of targeted interventions, such as stricter drug regulations, revised school curricula to include drug awareness, and robust counseling frameworks.<\/span><\/p>

3. Social Impact: Highlighting the societal and familial factors influencing drug abuse, encouraging community-based solutions and parental engagement.<\/span><\/p>

By addressing a critical socio-educational challenge in Nigeria, the study paves the way for further research on mitigating factors and preventive measures, ultimately aiming to improve student well-being and academic outcomes in technical education settings<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
