Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa, chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, has urged a robust national response to combat illicit drugs. He also emphasized the need for support in alternative development initiatives.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has called for a strong national effort to address the challenge of illicit drugs in Nigeria. Speaking on the issue, Marwa highlighted the importance of a comprehensive response to tackle drug-related problems effectively.
In addition to enforcement measures, he advocated for support in alternative development programs. These initiatives aim to provide sustainable livelihoods for communities affected by drug cultivation and trafficking, reducing reliance on illegal activities.
