Spokesperson of the agency, said the chairman/chief executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd) signed for the agency while the assistant inspector general of police in charge of the National Central Bureau and vice president, Interpol Africa, Garba Baba Umar, signed on behalf of the global body.
During the signing ceremony at the NCB secretariat, Force headquarters, Gen. Marwa reminded the audience that drug business is international in scope while the scourge of drug abuse has continued to destroy lives, youths, families and communities, stressing that it also fuels criminalities because perpetrators either consume illicit substances or use proceeds to fund their nefarious criminal activities.
Gen. Marwa said ''As we are after the drug cartels and barons, we are not under the illusion that they won’t be after us but we are always steps ahead of them.
''This is why all security agencies must collaborate to fight the cartels, whether in Nigeria or anywhere in the world.
''We are therefore happy that the signing of this MoU allows us access to contribute and benefit from criminal data records of 195 countries globally.''
''I commended the inspector-general of police, for providing good leadership for the Nigeria Police and his commitment to partner with NDLEA in the fight against illicit drugs in Nigeria.
