Tough time awaits traffickers of illicit drugs between Nigeria and India with a historic signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National
Chairman/chief executive officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa , who signed the MoU on behalf of Nigeria’s premier anti-narcotics Agency, said the move represents a robust partnership in the effort to exterminate incidences of drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking in the two countries.
According to him, “this bold step taken by the two agencies is an affirmation of our foresight and commitment to the task of ensuring the safety of our citizens and the global community at large. Today’s development constitutes a fundamental step towards positioning the two countries, India and Nigeria, at the forefront of confronting and dismantling transnational drug trafficking networks with brazen capabilities of outmaneuvering legitimate drug law enforcement.
“With our understanding of the changing dynamics of the illicit drug problems, locally and globally, every major organisation around the world working assiduously to curb the menace knows that working with partners greatly helps in addressing the trafficking and abuse of narcotic and psychotropic substances.
“The governments of both countries remain committed to eradicating the problem posed by illicit substances, notably synthetic opioids and Amphetamine Type Stimulants which pose a potent threat to our citizens.”
