The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), has reaffirmed his commitment to improving the welfare of personnel and their families, particularly by supporting the education of officers’ children.

Marwa gave the assurance on Friday, October 30, 2026, during a working visit to the newly established NDLEA Command School at the agency’s barracks in Yola, Adamawa State.

During the visit, he inspected the school’s facilities and interacted with pupils, students and members of staff.

Addressing the students, the NDLEA chairman urged them to embrace discipline, punctuality and academic excellence, describing these values as essential to achieving their future aspirations.

He advised them to take their studies seriously, read diligently and work hard to excel in their examinations. He also encouraged them to worship God, obey their parents and teachers, and shun illicit drugs.

Marwa pledged continued support for the development of the school to ensure that it provides quality education and grows into one of the leading institutions in the country.

He said the establishment of the school reflected the agency’s commitment to providing children of its personnel with access to quality education within their immediate community.

The NDLEA chairman also met with members of the NDLEA Officers’ Wives Association and other residents of the barracks.

The women expressed appreciation for the establishment of the pioneer command school, describing it as a significant investment in the education and future of their children. They also commended Marwa’s leadership and the transformation recorded in the agency under his watch.

Responding, Marwa thanked them for their support and assured them that the welfare of officers and their families would remain a priority under his leadership.

He disclosed that plans were at an advanced stage for the inauguration of the NDLEA Officers’ Wives Association, which would provide a formal platform for officers’ wives to organise, collaborate and contribute to the welfare of the agency’s families.

Marwa was accompanied on the visit by the Zone 2 Commander, ACGN Ishaku Yusuf Kwajafa, and other senior officers of the agency.
