STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU REAPPOINTS MOHAMMED BUBA MARWA AS NDLEA CHAIRMAN

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed the appointment of Brigadier-General Mohammed Buba Marwa (rtd) as the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for another five-year term.

Marwa was first appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2021, after serving as the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Elimination of Drug Abuse from 2018 to December 2020.

The reappointment means the Adamawa-born former military officer will remain at the helm of the NDLEA until 2031.

Marwa, a former military governor of Lagos and Borno States, is a graduate of the Nigerian Military School and the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA.

After his commissioning as a second lieutenant in 1973, Marwa served as brigade major of the 23 Armoured Brigade, Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Theophilus Danjuma, and academic registrar of the Nigerian Defence Academy. He also served as Deputy Defence Adviser in the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC, and later as Defence Adviser to the Nigerian Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

He holds two postgraduate degrees: a Master of Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh (1983–85) and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University (1985–86).

His tenure in the NDLEA has been remarkable for many drug busts, including the arrests of 73,000 drug mules and barons and seizures of over 15 million kilogrammes of various hard drugs.

Under his leadership, the agency has also launched nationwide campaigns to address drug abuse.

"Your reappointment is a vote of confidence in your onerous efforts to rid our country of the menace of drug trafficking and drug abuse. I urge you not to relent in tracking the merchants of hard drugs, out to destroy our people, especially the young ones", President Tinubu

This is surely what Yoruba call “ipade Obi ati Oluko”😂

Just few days ago, the controversial Nigerian preacher popularly known as 'Ọba Solomoni' was invited by the Police to appear at Zone 2, Onikan Lagos.

Any update on his matter? Was he detained or released afterwards?

The Catalans submitted two bids which were rejected by the Reds , who afterwards released a statement warning Barca to keep off their talisman .
Earlier, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard had said Coutinho would have to start a ‘ war ’ to leave Anfield for the Nou Camp.
According to UK’ s Mirror , Coutinho is angry at Liverpool’ s refusal to accept Barcelona ’ s bid for him .
“ Philippe has tried very hard to find an amicable solution to this situation but to no avail , ” the newspaper quoted a family member as saying .
“ He has tremendous love for the club and its fans .
“ But like Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez have pointed out in the past, Liverpool does not let its players leave on amicable terms . ”

The Federation Accounts Allocation Committee on Tuesday shared the sum of N 652. 2bn as statutory allocations to the three tiers of government for the month of June .
The amount is made up of revenues generated from oil and non - oil sources that were paid into the Federation Account.
Addressing journalists shortly after a meeting that was held at the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance , the Accountant -General of Federation , Alhaji Idris Ahmed, put the statutory revenue received during the month at N 570. 8bn.
This, he added , represented an increase of N 253bn over the N 317. 56bn received in May .
Giving a breakdown of the N 652. 22bn shared , he said the Federal Government got N 286. 6bn; the states , N 178. 61bn; and local government councils , N 134. 92bn.
Ahmed added that the sum of N 29. 89bn was approved for sharing to oil -producing states based on the 13 per cent derivation principle.
Asked if Lagos State had started enjoying the 13 per cent derivation formula as an oil -producing state, the AGF said the state was already recognised as such .
He said , “ Lagos is already being identified as an oil -producing state; the first hurdle has been crossed .
“ The relevant agencies to determine the quantity of oil that is being produced from Lagos is working round the clock . We are on course ; Lagos already know its position . ”
He added that there was a decrease in the crude oil export volume in June , which affected oil revenue.
Ahmed explained, “ The decrease in the average price of crude oil from $55. 18 to $50. 27 per barrel and a significant decrease in export volume by 3. 20 million barrels resulted in decreased revenue from export sales for the federation by $183. 68m .
“ Crude oil production suffered due to leakages, shut- ins and shutdowns at terminals for maintenance and force majeure declared at the Forcados terminal since February .
“ There were significant increases in Company Income Tax, being the peak period for its collection , and Petroleum Profit Tax. Also , Value Added Tax, import and excise duties recorded marginal increases. ”
