Retired senior officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday visited the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd).
Naijaonpoint reports that the aim of the visit was to congratulate him on his renewed tenure and assure him of their continued support in the fight against drug abuse and trafficking in the country.
The visit took place in Abuja, where nine former directors, led by ex-Director of Prosecution and Legal Services, Sunday Nbona Joseph, met with Marwa.
The retired officers said the agency stands to gain more from his return because of his work pace, experience and steady push for a stronger drug control system.
They also thanked President Bola Tinubu for granting Marwa another term of five years and noted that they remain willing to give guidance whenever needed.
A large congratulatory card was handed to the NDLEA boss during the visit.
Marwa, in his remarks, thanked the former directors for their support over the years and for standing with the agency even after their exit from service.
He said the progress recorded under his leadership came through teamwork across the agency, adding that no chief executive can attain such results alone.
He stressed that the officers who worked with him played key roles in the achievements recorded before their retirement.
He also said that the agency has made more progress since their departure and assured them that better results lie ahead, especially with the strong backing the NDLEA continues to receive from President Tinubu.
The visit ended with renewed assurances from the retired officers to remain available to help strengthen the agency’s work in tackling drugs nationwide.
