Abstract


This study investigated the impact of drug abuse and addiction on the academic performance of students at Niger State College of Education, Minna, in the artificial intelligence era. A descriptive survey design was employed, with a sample of 220 NCE II students randomly selected from various departments. Data were collected using the Students’ Drug Abuse and Addiction Questionnaire (SDAAQ) and analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and t-test statistics. The findings indicated no significant differences in the mean effects of drug abuse, addiction, parental care, and health implications on students’ academic performance. Nevertheless, the study emphasizes drug abuse as a critical academic and social concern among students. The findings highlight the need for community service–based interventions, including awareness campaigns, counseling, and rehabilitation programs involving educational institutions, families, and community stakeholders, to promote students’ academic success and well-being in the artificial intelligence era.
