NDLEA Denies Biased Promotions, Emphasises Ongoing Process
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has firmly denied claims suggesting that it has engaged in biased promotions. In a statement issued by the agency's spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on Wednesday, June 7, it was emphasised that promotions within the organisation are an ongoing process, taking into account various factors such as vacancies. 

The public has been urged to disregard any misleading information that seeks to tarnish the achievements made by the NDLEA, particularly under the steady leadership of Gen. Marwa. The statement read:

"The issues raised by the personnel mentioned in the reports actually emerged in 2011, a decade before Brig. Gen. MB Marwa (Retd) assumed leadership of the agency. However, in a dedicated effort to motivate the workforce, over 70% of the staff, many of whom had been stagnant on one rank for 15-20 years, were promoted and their ranks harmonised in 2021 shortly after Gen. Marwa took charge of the agency."

While acknowledging that a significant number of the personnel mentioned in the reports have already been promoted in recent exercises, the ongoing expansion of the NDLEA presents opportunities for officers and personnel to progress further. 

This expansion creates additional vacancies, allowing for the elevation of those who have not yet been affected in a subsequent promotion exercise that is currently underway for junior ranks.

The statement reassured those who are yet to be promoted that the Chairman/CEO places great importance on their well-being and considers their career progression vital to the successes achieved under his leadership. 

The NDLEA will continue to prioritise their career advancement in order to foster high productivity across all commands and formations of the agency.
