The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NAFDAC), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has expressed the appreciation of the agency’s officers and men to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his ongoing support for the country’s efforts to combat substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking.
Marwa made the statement while fielding questions from journalists during an inspection of facilities at the NDLEA barracks in Yola, Adamawa state, which he said is almost ready for commissioning.
According to him, “We thank God for the project, 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 said, “Consultants, and contractors have done very well, good quality, well monitored, best materials and design as you can see, and we are 95% done.
“We hope that by the grace of Allah, before the middle of this year, we’ll fully launch this first phase”, he added.
