The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has received commendation from its Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa, for its participation in the North Sea and Channel Maritime Information Group meeting in Southampton, UK. Marwa praised the agency’s growing operational capacity, professionalism, and strategic relevance in global counter-narcotics efforts, noting that Nigeria was the only African country represented at the conference.
The NDLEA’s participation in the conference and joint operational exercises with the UK Border Force marks a significant milestone in strengthening international collaboration against transnational organized crime. The agency’s officers gained exposure to advanced interdiction techniques, intelligence-sharing frameworks, and real-time maritime operations, enhancing NDLEA’s ability to disrupt drug trafficking networks along Nigeria’s waterways and maritime corridors.
Marwa reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to deepening partnerships with global counterparts to safeguard Nigeria and contribute to global drug control efforts. He expressed appreciation to UK authorities for the opportunity and cooperation extended to NDLEA officers.
