The National Drug Law EnforAgency and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) of India have agreed to intensify efforts in combating the shipment of illicit drugs between the two countries.
This follows agreements reached during a virtual meeting between the NDLEA chairman, Buba Marwa, and the director-general of NCB, Anurag Ggarg, in Abuja.
Marwa noted the threat posed to public health and security by illicit drugs in both Nigeria and India, emphasizing the need to strengthen the existing partnership between the NDLEA and NCB, based on the memorandum of understanding signed by both agencies in 2023.
