The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) Wednesday lauded President Bola Tinubu’s administration for sustaining the massive war on hard drugs and illicit substances which the rights group said is working optimally.
HURIWA national coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement said the administration has achieved insurmountable excellence in the coordinated war on drugs under the current dispensation and has attracted global acclaim to the National Drug Law Enforcement Authority (NDLEA) under Brigadier General Mohammed Buba Marwa (retd).
HURIWA said there is hardly any doubt in the minds of doubting Thomases that the current administration’s counter-narcotics strategy is working, which is the very reason several advanced nations have approached the NDLEA for collaboration and partnerships.
HURIWA believes that the admirable efforts the NDLEA has made in waging relentless and massively successful counter-narcotics war is a wonderful legacy that would stand a test of time because of the good image that the nation’s counter-narcotics strategy has attracted to Nigeria since the last three years and particularly under the current dispensation.
Government’s counter-narcotics blueprint is indeed working which is never in doubt just as HURIWA said the shining examples of the NDLEA under the current dispensation has attracted international partnerships by advanced and sophisticated nations who are lining up in their numbers to enter into workable Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the resilient NDLEA under General Marwa.
The NDLEA and the United Kingdom’s Home Office International Operations (HOIO) have just signed a MoU aimed at intensifying the fight against transnational organised crime, especially illicit drug trafficking between Nigeria and the UK.
The MoU was signed on Monday at the NDLEA headquarters in Abuja.
