From the medication overview of the United Nations Department on Drugs UNODC, 10.6million Nigerians use medications and it will be 20million in 2030. We are the most elevated clients of cannabis on the planet and the results are there for everybody's viewing pleasure".
"The World Health Organization says utilization of cannabis has medical problems. With Nigeria having the most noteworthy predominance proportion, this isn't an ideal opportunity to discuss sanctioning the illegal medication. Ondo State is the best maker if this substance and NDLEA will proceed with torch any homestead or creation site where we discover this medication as per the law. It is risky to our wellbeing and it has critical results"
On the exercises of some customary rulers scheming with, or giving cover to unlawful medications dealers and makers, Marwa said, "Conventional Rulers are not excluded from the law.

Maltreatment of opiates has debilitated the labor force of associations and destroyed networks and social orders. It has achieved family crumbling, pulverized the limits of our young people and led to a wide range of violations like uprising, psychological warfare, banditry, seizing, assault and brutal fanaticism which have occurred for countries including our dear country Nigeria with chaperon wellbeing results on the clients.
"The dynamism of the ongoing drug habit has made it basic for us to keep on developing our insight and comprehension of this malicious problem. In such manner, sharing realities about drug misuse and illegal dealing with opiates, as caught by the current year's subject, will go far in revealing some insight into heretofore covered up factors that guide inclination to substance misuse, particularly the topic of new psychoactive substances.
"Medication maltreatment as an empowering influence of all types of culpability is a hydra-headed beast that should be squashed in the event that we should push ahead as a country. The arrangement lies in having hyper-effective enemy of medication hardware, which is what the NDLEA rely on.
Since my suspicion of office as Chairman/CEO in January this year, we set apparatus under way to reposition the Agency. I'm happy to answer to you today that following five months, we are gaining a positive ground in repositioning the NDLEA for proficiency and adequacy.
"We have prevailing with regards to boosting the assurance and certainty of officials and men of the NDLEA through functional advances taken to address government assistance and profession stagnation issues. To this end, we founded, among different measures, an every other month evaluation and money upheld grant for Best Performing Commands to propel officials and men on the field.
"As of late, the office advanced 3, 506 officials who have deteriorated in the previous years, some for up of 10, 15 and surprisingly 20 years on one position. One individual really remained 21 years on one position.
"Major regulatory advances were taken to reestablish the perceivability of the Agency for neighborhood and worldwide organizations. What's more, in five months, we have gained calculable headway. Up until this point, the picture of the Agency has immensely improved, to such an extent that today, individuals are presently mindful of the presence of the NDLEA dissimilar to previously.
"Our association with general society has been upgraded and individuals come unreservedly to chip in data to us. By a similar token, we have had the option to draw in global help that has yielded gifts of operational gear, specialized help, preparing and promises of help by the UNODC, EU, US, UK, French, Indian and German governments and others.
"Expectedly, our meticulous and vital operational endeavors have converted into empowering results. The Agency's hostile activity against drug cartels the nation over dispatched exactly five months prior, has yielded more than 2,180 captures of medication dealers and the capture of more than 2 million kilograms of grouped illegal medications. We have documented at any rate 2,100 medication cases in court, recording more than 500 feelings with 1,549 cases forthcoming in court.
"These outcomes have given us enormous experiences into the size of the ongoing drug habit. The work ahead is huge. NDLEA can't win the medication battle without the assistance of residents. We need the collaboration of one and all. We as a whole owe Nigeria the obligation of guaranteeing that medication misuse and dealing don't flourish in this country. For us all of us, is an earnest task, since, in such a case that we should end youth radicalization, brutal fanaticism, cultism, banditry, wanton capturing, revolt and so forth, drug misuse and dealing should be managed an unequivocal blow.
"To win the medication war, NDLEA must synergize with other law authorization and sister offices and partners for greatest effect.
