graduated a new set of narcotics agents from training and another 2500 cadets due to pass out in a month’s time, the significance of that development was not immediately clear to Nigerians.
This is good news for the citizens of this country. We all can attest to the extraordinary performance of the agency in the past 33 months as it worked to curb the menace of illicit drug use and trafficking in our society. The number of arrests made weekly and the quantity of seizures recorded so far, not to mention the number of convictions in court, has shown Nigerians the severity of the illicit drug problem in the country.
