In his welcome remarks, Marwa expressed appreciation to the visiting UK team and the British government for past support to the NDLEA.

He said with the expansion of the operations, command structure and staff strength of the Agency, he would need more support and collaboration from the UK government.

While stating that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government has been very supportive of the work of the Agency in critical areas, Marwa asked for strengthened intelligence sharing collaboration, provision of essential operational logistics and training among others from the UK government.

In his response, Nick Fowler commended Marwa for the huge success NDLEA has become under his leadership.

He said the Agency has been able to play a significant role by intercepting loads of illicit drugs going to the UK.

He assured that his office is now well-positioned to share intelligence with NDLEA.
