The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has lauded the donation of a newly built canine facility by the German government, stating that it will strengthen Nigeria’s fight against illicit drugs.
The Agency’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), stated this on Friday at the commissioning of the modern canine complex in Lagos.
According to a statement issued in Abuja by NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, the German government’s intervention demonstrates the importance it attaches to supporting Nigeria’s anti-drug campaign.
Marwa assured stakeholders that the provision of the facility would significantly boost the Agency’s capacity to fulfil its core mandate. The NDLEA boss expressed gratitude to German Consul General Daniel Krull and officials of the German Federal Criminal Police for their role in the project.
In his remarks, Krull said NDLEA’s success benefits not only Nigeria but also Germany and the wider region.
