The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), has demonstrated his commitment to the education of officers’ children and the welfare of personnel and their families.
Marwa made this commitment on Friday, during a visit to the newly opened NDLEA Command School at the agency’s barracks in Yola, Adamawa state, where he inspected the facilities and spoke with pupils, and members of staff.
While addressing the students, Marwa encouraged them to embrace discipline, punctuality, and academic excellence. He emphasized that these values are important for their success and future goals.
He also highlighted the importance of worshipping God, showing respect for parents and teachers, and staying away from illicit drugs, which he considered a non-negotiable part of their lives.
The NDLEA chairman pledged continued support to the development of the school, expressing that it would provide quality education and become one of the leading schools in the country.
He said the establishment of the institution shows the agency’s dedication to providing access to quality education for the children of its staff within their local community.

They also recognized his leadership and noted the improvements seen in the agency in his time in charge.
In response, Marwa expressed gratitude for their kind words and support, assuring them that he would continue to prioritize the welfare of officers and their families.
He also revealed that plans are underway to inaugurate the NDLEA Officers’ Wives Association, which would provide officers’ wives a formal way to organize, collaborate, and contribute positively to the NDLEA family’s welfare.
Accompanied by Zone 2 Commander, Assistant Commander General of Narcotics (ACGN) Ishaku Yusuf Kwajafa and other senior agency officials, the chairman reaffirmed his commitment to initiatives that enhance the institution, support personnel, and promote family well-being.
