The International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau has commended the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for its recent operational successes, pledging continued support for the fight against drug trafficking in Nigeria.
At a meeting held at NDLEA headquarters in Abuja, INL Nigeria Country Director Derek Tolliver congratulated the agency’s leadership, describing its recent achievements as phenomenal. He said the United States government remains committed to deepening the existing partnership and advancing joint programmes with the NDLEA.
NDLEA Chairman, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa, highlighted the impact of vehicles and modern forensic equipment donated by the US, particularly in aiding investigations into illicit drug production across the country.
Marwa appealed for further American support, especially in logistics, operational equipment and training, as the agency intensifies its campaign against drug trafficking and illicit drug production nationwide.
The exchange underscores the growing role of US backing in Nigeria’s anti-narcotics efforts, as the NDLEA leans on international partnerships to sustain the momentum of its recent operations.
