My Mentor NDLEA BOSS Buba Marwa
By Ibrahim Musa Kallah
My Mentor Brig.General M.B Marwa will be on record as the first NDLEA BOSS to embrace a multi-dimensional and holistic approach that aims to mitigate the harm done by drug use instead of the traditional just-say-no-ism of past chief executives.
Like a true soldier, in just three years, he led the agency to arrest nearly thousands of drug offenders, including notorious barons across the country. Within the same period, a lot of persons were convicted and jailed, while more than 12,000 drug users were counselled and treated.
For this, the NDLEA boss has received a lot of commendation for the new dynamic and greatly improved agency.
Today, for his effort, the country is witnessing a new dawn in drug warfare and his string of successes in the tough battle against drug trafficking has projected the nation in a more positive light. Expectedly, the Adamawa-born leadership quality has not gone unnoticed as awards and honours have poured on him in torrents.
Recently, he received awards from notable media organisations. He began the year with the Distinguished Public Service award from Vanguard Newspapers. This was followed by another well-deserved honour as the Leadership Person of the Year Award. Thank you my mentor for saving from Nigeria from Drug Abuse.
