Hey man , drift velocity, conceptually , is the average velocity of the flow of electrons when current passes through any straight or circular or any other shaped conductors.Now the direction of flow of conventional current ( not electronic ) is opposite to that of flow of electron s. But the drift velocity is dependent entirely on the direction of flow of electron not of the current.Since , electrons flow from lower potential to higher potential in influence of electric field , so is the direction of drift velocity.Similarly, for a positive charge carrier i.e a conductor carrying a positron , the direction of positron is from higher to lower potential ,so is the direction of drift velocity.
