Ghana's Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) is pushing for mandatory drug testing to become a standard component of university admission requirements, arguing that early detection is critical to reducing substance abuse among young people. Narcotics Control Commission wants university management to include drug screening in standard pre-admission medical examinations. Twum-Barimah said the proposal was straightforward to implement because universities already required incoming students to undergo medical examinations before enrolment. Adding drug screening to that process, he argued, would create an early warning system for substance abuse. The NACOC official also proposed extending compulsory testing to the point of National Service entry, suggesting the prospect of a mandatory test before graduation would serve as a deterrent throughout a student's university years.
