In his remarks, Police Commissioner General Suyudi Ario Seto emphasized the strategic position of universities as the nation's defense against drugs.

Adlina Putri Martiza expressed her readiness to fulfill her mandate. "Becoming an Anti-Drug Ambassador is both an honor and a huge responsibility. I will be a bridge of education and encourage my friends to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle, so that our campus will be safer and more caring," Adlina said after her inauguration.
