Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency ( NDLEA), retired Brig.- Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa says the agency will continue to live up to the expectations of Nigerians and its international partners.

Marwa spoke in Lagos on Thursday while performing the groundbreaking ceremony of the headquarters building and personnel accommodation of the Marine Unit of the NDLEA at the Eko Atlantic city beach, Lagos.

He commended the British Government for offering to sponsor the building of the projects.

The projects are being facilitated by the UK Home Office International Operations (HOIO).

Marwa appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the UK government for the confidence reposed in the NDLEA.

He said their all-round support will always be a morale booster for the officers and men who daily face the risks to dismantle drug cartels with the aim to curb substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking in Nigeria.

He noted that the office and accommodation facilities being provided by the UK government for personnel of the marine unit of the agency will in no small measure enhance their safety, efficiency and confidence.

“You have provided us a place here, you’ve given us the trainings, you’ve supported with the boats and the repairs and now the accommodation.

“We can only say thank you. We wish to give the assurances on what you already know that the NDLEA is a serious Agency, we do what we have to do without fear or favour, we will get the job done, that I can give you the assurance as we continue to partner. Thank you very much,” Marwa said.

He also commended the Navy, Customs, Immigration and other services in the area for their collaboration with NDLEA.

He said : “We all must stand up together, though the NDLEA is the lead agency in this enterprise, the work is collaborative.

“We must partner to get the job done. I’ve been briefed that there’s lot of collaboration going on the same way I was at MMIA this morning and spoke to your senior colleagues there and they are all working together as you are here.

“I urge you to keep it up in this spirit and I wish you more success.”

Addressing officers of the Unit, Marwa said the leadership of the Agency is restructuring the Marine Unit so that it “can become a lean and mean force under an able commander.

“You should brace up, stand up on your two feet and work very hard to make sure that drugs do not pass by water.”

In his brief remarks, Kris Hawksfield of the UK Home Office International Operations assured that the project will be completed latest by July 2024.

Speaking earlier at a War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) advocacy meeting with the leadership of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Marwa said there is need for the organisation to partner with the Agency in the fight against substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking.

He urged the PMAN President, Prettywise Okafor and other executives to mobilise their members to use their God-given talents for the good of the society rather than using their music to promote drug abuse especially among the youths.

Okafor, in his response expressed the preparedness of PMAN to partner with the Agency.

He also gave details of their effort to organise advocacy campaign against drug abuse across the country and their plan to build rehabilitation centres as part of their ongoing projects in Abuja and Lagos.    (vitalnewsngr.com)
