The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has officially relocated its headquarters to a new facility in the Jahi area of Abuja.
The agency’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Marwa, described the move as a vital step in the agency’s development. Marwa explained that the new headquarters was necessary to accommodate the agency’s expansion and improve operations.
The first phase of the project was inaugurated during an interdenominational service on Wednesday, and is expected to be completed with the 2025 budgetary provisions. The old head office in Gimbiya, Garki area of the FCT will continue to serve as the headquarters annex.
Marwa thanked President Bola Tinubu for his continued support and encouragement to the agency to be in a position to achieve its mandate of curbing substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking in the country.
