Nigeria remains committed to global cooperation in the fight against illicit drugs and transnational organised crime, NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has assured international partners.
Marwa made this statement at the graduation ceremony of NDLEA officers from the US-DEA training academy in Quantico, Virginia, USA, on February 13, 2026. He called for a reinforced global offensive against transnational organised crime, citing the evolving sophistication of criminal networks.
The ceremony was dedicated to fallen officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Marwa praised their courage and commitment to justice, noting the course motto: “Different nations, shared duty, one fight.”
The training programme equipped elite officers from Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya with advanced skills to disrupt drug trafficking networks and dismantle organised cartels. Marwa urged graduates to apply their skills with integrity and professionalism.
He thanked the US Department of Justice, DEA leadership, and instructors for their partnership and investment in capacity building, expressing optimism for continued success in the fight against drug trafficking and organised crime.
