Marwa Commissions NDLEA Barracks, Rehab Centre in Kano

The Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has commissioned new accommodation blocks for personnel and a rehabilitation centre in Kano.

The event included the unveiling of terrace flats for officers of the Zonal Command, Kano Command, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Command, and members of the Strike Force Team. A rehabilitation facility was also inaugurated.

According to Marwa, “We are acutely aware that the effectiveness of our officers hinges not merely upon their training and tools, but also upon the quality of their living conditions. A secure and decent home front empowers the spirit, sharpens the mind, and steels the resolve of those tasked with the solemn duty of safeguarding our society from the scourge of illicit drugs.”

Marwa said the first NDLEA barracks was commissioned in Yola, Adamawa State, and that a similar facility in Abuja is ready for commissioning. He mentioned that other housing projects are ongoing in Enugu and Lagos.

“These structures we commission today are not mere edifices of brick and mortar; they are symbols of peace, assurance, and respect,” he said. “They reflect the value we place on our officers and an affirmation of our enduring pledge to uplift their standard of living.”

Marwa also spoke on the Kano Command’s activities over the past year. “As a state with an international border and an international airport, the importance of securing Kano against drug trafficking cannot be overstated,” he said. “While we applaud the performance so far, we also look forward to even greater results in the future.”

He advised personnel to handle the facilities with care and discipline. “This project is a notable milestone in the determined march toward a more resilient, people-focused, and mission-driven NDLEA,” he said.

Marwa decorated Maryam Gambo Sani, Zonal Commander of Zone 5 Command, with the rank of Deputy Commander General of Narcotics (DCGN), and acknowledged the support of President Tinubu and other stakeholders.

“Our gratitude equally extends to the many stakeholders who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us in the pursuit of our constitutional mandate,” Marwa said.
