NDLEA The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has debunked reports that its ongoing promotion exercise for officers was conducted was not lopsided. NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said this in a statement on Wednesday. Babafemi said over 70 percent of the officers have remained in one rank for about 15 to 20 years. He added that most of them were promoted after Buba Marwa, chairman of the agency, assumed office in 2021. “The attention of the NDLEA has been drawn to some online reports suggesting lopsided promotion of personnel. The agency wishes to state that no such thing exists, as elevation of officers and men remains an ongoing exercise based on a number of factors including vacancy.” Babafemi said the ongoing expansion of the agency, which creates more vacancies for officers and men to move up, provides the window for the few not yet affected to be elevated, in another exercise underway for the junior ranks. He added that anyone not yet affected can be rest assured that the chairman/CEO considers their welfare paramount and central to the successes so far achieved by his leadership and will continue to pay attention to their career progression. 30 mins ago The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed has said the Scheme is poised to empower Corps Members for wealth creation with the support of relevant stakeholders. 44 mins ago The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has debunked reports that its ongoing promotion exercise for officers was conducted was not lopsided. 46 mins ago The bid by Dr Tajudeen Abass to occupy the exalted seat of the Speaker of the House of Representatives yesterday recieved a major boost as his colleagues from the North West geo-political zone of the country endorsed his aspiration. 50 mins ago The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, (APC) on Wednesday in Abuja, opposed the appearance of subpoenaed witnesses of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) to testify.
