In a groundbreaking achievement, Kogi East has become the proud host of the National Drug Law Agency (NDLEA) zonal command in Anyigba, courtesy of the legislative drive of Senator Isah Jibrin Echocho.
The establishment of the NDLEA zonal command marks a significant step towards curbing the menace of drug and substance abuse in the region. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Senator Echocho emphasized the importance of securing the future of young people and guaranteeing a healthy society. He noted that drug and substance abuse has become an endemic phenomenon, and the establishment of the zonal command is a crucial step towards addressing this challenge.
The NDLEA zonal command in Anyigba will serve as a hub for drug control activities in Kogi East and surrounding areas. The agency will work tirelessly to prevent drug trafficking, investigate and prosecute drug-related offenses, and provide support for individuals struggling with addiction.
The official commissioning and handover ceremony was attended by Alhaji Danlami Garba representing Senator Echocho, State Commander of NDLEA Umar Mustapha Yahuza, Zonal Commander Hassan Sakaba, Ejeh of Dekina, and Ogohi Oni Anyigba.
This development is a testament to the power of effective leadership and the impact that dedicated public servants can have on their communities. As the NDLEA zonal command in Anyigba begins its operations, it is expected to make a significant difference in the lives of many, and serve as a model for other regions to follow.
