Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, on Wednesday retired from the agency after 10 years of service.
Giade while speaking at a ceremony held for him at the Ikoyi office of the agency said,” I am leaving the NDLEA better than I met it 10 years ago. My greatest legacy is the zero tolerance for corruption. If we must continue to dislodge drug barons and eradicate drugs from our society, we must remain forthright and committed to drug control programmes. I am leaving behind a legacy of proactive and intelligence-led organisation.
“The agency under my watch has a representative at INTERPOL headquarters and has successfully raised the international profile of the country through unprecedented seizures of drugs and arrest of drug barons.”
Giade noted the achievement of agency during his time in office to include, the removal of Nigeria from the drug majors list by the United States government and cordial working relationship with stakeholders.
“The removal of Nigeria from the major drug list opened door to a robust cooperation and partnership with stakeholders.
“NDLEA has enjoyed unprecedented training programmes for officers sponsored by United States Germany, Spain, France and the European Union,” he added.
