According to Babafemi, the decision to renew the partnership followed a visit by the Commandant General of the NSCDC, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, to Chairman of NDLEA, Mohammed Marwa, at the anti-drug agency’s headquarters in Abuja on Thursday.
The NSCDC boss said he visited to seek synergy and collaboration between the two agencies.
NDLEA boss was quoted as saying, “We’ll like to bring the problem of drug abuse under control as quickly as possible because of its effects on public health and national security.
“As such, we’ll like to call for a renewed partnership with the NSCDC so that together we can bring criminalities under control in communities and the country at large.
“With your visible physical presence in the grassroots, we’ll work with you in our drug demand and drug supply control efforts.”
