NDLEA hails Tinubu support in fight against drug trafficking

The Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), has expressed the appreciation of officers of the anti-narcotic agency to President Bola Tinubu for his support for ongoing efforts to curb drug abuse and trafficking across the country.

The Chairman of the NDLEA stated this while fielding questions from journalists during the inspection of facilities at the NDLEA barracks, which he said, was almost ready for commissioning in Yola, Adamawa State.

Marwa said, “We appreciate the continuity in governance. President Buhari appreciated the issues surrounding the security and welfare of staff. They seize, arrest, prosecute and deal with the criminals, yet the criminals come back to them because they live among them.

“But now we have the barracks for our personnel. President Buhari approved it and commenced it, and now President Tinubu has continued with the same zeal and drive, so we appreciate this element of concern towards the NDLEA.”

While commending the standard and quality of work being done at the barracks, he added, “We are targeting initially the six geopolitical zones to have a barrack each, for equity and balance and in the succeeding years.

“We hope the succeeding government will continue in all the 36 state commands, Federal Capital Territory and Special Area commands.”
