The chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Ahmadu Giade, has drawn the curtain on his 10 years of service.

Giade made the announcement at an elaborate ceremony held in his honor on Wednesday, November 25, at the NDLEA Ikoyi office.

While speaking at the ceremony, Giade listed some of his accomplishments in the past decade at the helm of NDLEA.

“I am leaving the NDLEA better than I met it 10 years ago. My greatest legacy is the zero tolerance for corruption. If we must continue to dislodge drug barons and eradicate drugs from our society, we must remain forthright and committed to drug control programmes. I am leaving behind a legacy of proactive and intelligence-led organization.

“The agency under my watch has a representative at INTERPOL headquarters and has successfully raised the international profile of the country through unprecedented seizures of drugs and arrest of drug barons.”

“The removal of Nigeria from the major drug list opened door to a robust cooperation and partnership with stakeholders. NDLEA has enjoyed unprecedented training programmes for officers sponsored by United States Germany, Spain, France and the European Union.”
