The Nigeria Governors’ Wives Forum (NGWF) has pledged support for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and its ongoing war against abuse and trafficking of illicit drugs.

Ekiti State First Lady and Chairperson of NGWF, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, made the pledge Friday when she led a delegation, which includes First Ladies of Kwara, Mrs Olufolake Abdulrasaq; Imo, Mrs Chioma Uzodinma and Yobe, Hajiya Hafsat Kollere Buni on a visit to the NDLEA headquarters.

She said the visit among others was to seek a formidable partnership that will secure the states and Nigeria from the menace of drug sub-culture.

“We are therefore here today to pledge our support for NDLEA to ensure that our country and communities become drug-free. We are not willing to stand by as mothers and see our children consumed by this menace,” Mrs Fayemi said.

The delegation presented four requests, all of which were instantly granted by the NDLEA boss, Gen. Marwa.

Welcoming the delegation, the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), expressed appreciation for the visit.

He said that the interest shown by them in the country’s drug problem shows their humanity and commitment to support their husbands to engender a better society devoid of drug-induced criminalities.

He also charged the governors’ wives to work with their husbands to make the drug problem a major priority on their agenda.
