Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), yesterday said the Federal Government is owing the agency’s workers about N4 billion in allowances, among other expenses.

Marwa stated this when he visited Senate President Ahmad Lawan in Abuja.

“Nigeria is in a state of siege today. Yes, we are having the insurgency, banditry and kidnapping. But when you go to some areas and speak of the menace, it may not be of great concern to the paople. But when you enter the realm of drug abuse, every part of Nigeria is affected. “When the NDLEA officials are given a pittance, there is the temptation to compromise with the people they are supposed to go after. That is why we always request for sufficiency.“It is amazing that we are the only security agency fighting barons and living among them in the same communities.Senate President Ahmad Lawan urged Marwa to urgently restructure the agency for more effectiveness.
