Group lauds Buhari over Marwa’s choice as NDLEA boss



A non-governmental organisation, the Righteous On-Lookers Association has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing a former military administrator of Lagos State, Brig. General Muhammad Buba Marwa (rtd), as the new Chairman of the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

This was contained in a statement by the association’s patron, Ahmed Adoke, a copy of which was made available to Blueprint Monday in  Lokoja.

The statement described the change in the leadership of NDLEA as a welcome development and also described the appointment of the former military administrator as well conceived and a round peg in a round hole.

While noting the problems of drug addiction among Nigerian youths and its consequent effect in the upsurge of crime in the country, the statement said  “the NDLEA deserves a personality like Gen. Buba Marwa to reposition the agency for optimum performance.”

The statement then called on the federal government to mobilise the agency financially to recruit more hands and deploy facilities to combat drug-induced crimes in the country.

While congratulating the new NDLEA boss, the statement urged him to use his wealth of experience both as a military and a public officer to improve tremendously on the fortune of the agency.
