The Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) has approved the immediate promotion of 3,506 officers and men of the Agency.
This will enable them promote to their next ranks, thus breaking the jinx of long years of stagnation in the Agency.
This followed a report by the harmonisation committee set up by Gen. Marwa soon after assuming leadership of the agency in January to address the issues of low morale and stagnation in the career path of personnel.
This was contained in a statement by the Agency’s Media Director; the promotion followed a due consideration of the recommendations by the committee.
2,910 officers are between the rank of Narcotic Assistant I and Superintendent of Narcotics while 596 others between Chief Superintendent of Narcotics and Assistant Commander General of Narcotics were recommended to the Board of the Agency for elevation to their next ranks, a recommendation that was approved by the Board on Wednesday 16th June, 2021.
A breakdown of the list of promoted officers and men shows eight Assistant Commanders General of Narcotics (ACGN) were elevated to the rank of Deputy Commander General of Narcotics (DCGN); 20 Commanders of Narcotics (CN) to Assistant Commander General of Narcotics; 54 Deputy Commanders of Narcotics to Commander of Narcotics; 14 Assistant Commanders of Narcotics to Commander of Narcotics; 150 Assistant Commanders of Narcotics to Commander of Narcotics; and 350 Chief Superintendents of Narcotics to Assistant Commander of Narcotics.
