According to Princess Azura, “General Marwa’s reappointment is a victory for all Nigerians who desire a safer, healthier society. His results-driven approach at the NDLEA continues to inspire hope, especially in our collective fight to curb drug abuse among our young people. The NCWS stands firmly with him and pledges continued support for all initiatives aimed at promoting drug-free communities across the country.”
She further urged the NDLEA Chairman to sustain the momentum and continue setting new benchmarks in the agency’s operations.
