FEC approves over N4b for the construction of barracks for NDLEA personnel
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved over N4 billion for the construction of barracks for personnel of the National Dr¥g Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami, who disclosed this on Wednesday, said: “As you are aware, there has been renewed and sustained onslaught against dr¥g cartels and barons over time.
Within the three quarters of 2023 about 18,940 arrests were affected by the NDLEA and indeed dr¥gs with the estimated value of over N40 billion were confiscated.
Again, about 2,904 convictions were recorded. These successes recorded unfortunately, translated to unprecedented thr£ats and att@cks on personnel, officers, men, and other ranks of the agency, and then the need has arisen for the federal government to consider the possibility of taking security measures that will now provide the desired protection to the officers & men of the commission.
