Article Synopsis
- Nigeria has one of the highest rates of drug use globally, particularly opioids, with a low uptake of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) despite existing guidelines.
- A study surveyed 329 substance use professionals (SUPs) in Nigeria to assess their knowledge and attitudes towards MAT for opioid dependence.
- Results indicated that while most SUPs supported the need for MAT, many lacked prior experience, training, and awareness of guidelines, highlighting a need for improved education and resource availability.
Background: Rates of drug use in Nigeria are one of the highest globally, with the use of opioids associated with increased morbidity and mortality more so with injecting drug users (IDU). MAT) can reduce the harmful effects of opioid use but usage in the country is low despite a country-specific guideline in place. A notable barrier to MAT uptake is professionals' knowledge and attitudes.

The levels of total enzyme activity and acidity were lower in the pre-term infants when compared to term and post-term infants. Resolutions of the various species by ion-exchange chromatography and electrophoresis revealed that the development of specific isoenzymes in term infants occurred towards the end of the neonatal period.
