Babafemi said the agency’s commands across the country during the week under review intensified and balanced their drug supply reduction operations with War Against Drug Abuse (WADA).

He said the commands achieved this by taken advocacy campaigns to schools, markets, worship centres and communities.

“Some of these include: WADA sensitisation lecture on Drug Use and Mental Health for students and staff of Oba Akinbiyi High School, Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo State; Owode Senior Secondary School, Owode Yewa, Ogun State; Federal Science and Technical College, Awka, Anambra State; Yusad Secondary School, Gashua, Yobe State; and African Church Grammar School, Ilesa, Osun State as well as WADA advocacy visit to HRM Ochi’Idoma, Agaba Idu, Dr. Elaigwu Odogbo Obagaji John at his palace in Otukpo, Benue State and the Emir of Rano, HRH Amb. Muhammed Kabiru Inuwa in Kano State,”  he said.

While reacting to the arrests and seizures, Chairman/CEO of NDLEA, retired Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa , commended the efforts of the Nasarawa, FCT, Ondo, Kano, Borno, Edo, Anambra and Lagos Commands of the Agency for jobs well done in the past week.

Marwa, urged them and their compatriots across the country to always strive to surpass past feats in their drug supply and drug demand reduction efforts.
