The Lagos State Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Engr. Tayo Bamgbose-Martins, has applauded the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for its fight against drug abuse towards making Lagos a Drug Free State.

While reiterating that the Ministry is saddled with the responsibility of supervising all Emergencies and Disaster Management Agencies in the State, the Commissioner said the State Government, through the Ministry, will do all within its power to support the organisation in actualising its set goals and objectives.
Earlier, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Zone H Commander, Dr. Segun Kolawole Oke, appreciated Mr. Governor for the support extended to the Agency and assured his host of a better working relationship with the State Government.
The Commander stressed that its command was formed by the NDLEA Boss, Brigadier-General Buba Maruwa (rtd) to further strengthen and oversee Lagos and Ogun State Command.
He, however, solicited for the State Government’s intervention in the areas of logistics to aid the zone for improved surveillance and investigation.
