…charges officers to remain resolute in fight against drug scourge

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) has inaugurated blocks of terrace flats accommodation newly constructed for personnel of the Zonal Command, Kano Command, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Command, and officers of the Strike Force Team of the Agency deployed to Kano as well as a rehabilitation facility.

He also charged officers of the Agency to remain resolute and steadfast in the fight against illicit drug trafficking and dealers.

Marwa gave the charge on Saturday at the inauguration of the accommodation blocks in Kano State.

He said the commissioning stands as another testimony to President Bola Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of security personnel including NDLEA.

While recalling that the first ever NDLEA barrack in its 35-year history was commissioned in Yola, Adamawa state in February, Marwa disclosed that the Agency has just completed another barrack in Abuja, which is due for commissioning by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, adding that similar projects are at various stages of completion in Enugu and Lagos.

Marwa justified the provision of decent accommodation for the Agency’s workforce, acknowledging the sacrifices made daily by NDLEA officers to rid the country of illicit drugs and urged them to continue to stand up to the challenge of the drug menace.

He urged personnel who would inhabit the buildings to treat the facilities with care and discipline, adding that the commissioning was a notable milestone in the determined march toward a more resilient, people-focused, and mission-driven NDLEA.
