From Godwin Tsa, Abuja

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa, (Retd) has ordered commanders and special commands of the agency to mop up illicit drugs across the country or face the music.

Besides, the new NDLEA boss has proposed drug tests for all tertiary institution students and government appointees.

Gen. Marwa who issued the order on Monday at a meeting with state commanders and special commands of the agency in Abuja specifically charged them to either “shape up or face the music.”

Speaking at the meeting, the NDLEA boss disclosed plans to seek governments approval to conduct drug tests on tertiary institutions new students, security agencies fresh recruits and all newly appointed government employees.
He charged all commanders to be desirous of keeping drugs out of Nigerian streets and homes.

Marwa further charged the commanders of the agency “to shape up and get all those engaged in the nefarious business to face the music.

“All commanders must be desirous of keeping drugs out of Nigerian streets and homes, and so all of you must shape up and get all those engaged in the nefarious business to face the music, and I need results from now on. Our maxim will be offensive action. This means we must go all out constantly on the offensive against the bad guys.

The success we make of this particular task goes a long way to determine the socio-economic stability of the nation. We need not be told of the nexus between drug use, crime and criminalities. The exponential growth of the nefarious drug activities can be directly linked to the upsurge in crimes such as insurgency, terrorism, kidnapping, cultism, political thuggery, gangsterism, rape and other maladaptation bedeviling todays Nigeria.

In his message to drug crime perpetrators, Marwa warned them to embrace other trade or face the wrath of the law.

He said: “To the unbending drug crime perpetrators, I would like to let them know also that the game is up! It is high time they embraced another trade. The Federal Government Policy on Agriculture is a window for them to leverage on.”

He said he would put more efforts on drug demand reduction as part of plans to eradicate the scourge in Nigeria.

” While strengthening our enforcement activities, we will equally devout a lot of efforts to prevention, treatment and after care and focus on family/parenting, community, school systems, advocacy to all groups through traditional institutions, religious bodies, media, NGOs, CSOs, State and local governments among others. We will rehabilitate our rehab centres, make them functional while more will be built, he stated.

He said he would soon propose to the government the necessity for drug tests for all tertiary institutions resuming students, NYSC members, new workers, all security agencies new recruits and random tests for government appointees. NDLEA is ready to help and we must help.

Gen. Marwa who also expressed his determination to run with the National Drug Control Master Plan, Our Road Map, said toll free call centers/ help lines will soon be set up for the use of Nigerians ready to give information or seek intervention from the agency. Ours is a national assignment. Drug has littered everywhere; every community. We will lead the fight and we will succeed. Make no mistake about it, its a collective effort, he told the commanders.

While assuring them that their welfare is a priority to him, he said the suspended training of newly recruited personnel would soon resume once appropriate clearance from relevant authorities is secured.

“Issues of welfare of staff of the agency of paramount importance and urgency. It will be tackled. Iam aware there are no barracks, which is not conducive for your line and kind of duty. This as well as operational and logistics issues will be looked into, he assured them.
