Officers of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have lamented over poor welfare and salaries given to them, saying a paltry N44,000 salary, for instance, cannot take care of their families. They also expressed their frustration over poor remuneration, lack of promotions, non-payment of medical and other allowances and lack of befitting barracks for them to stay. The workers therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerian leaders to focus on the agency and save it from collapse.

The workers therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerian leaders to focus on the agency and save it from collapse. “As I am telling you, many officers are looking for another job because they no longer see future in the agency. Without some of us taking bribes from drug baron, how can we feed our families with the token called salary?” one of the officers lamented.
