Speaking at a brief ceremony held in Lagos at the weekend, the NDLEA boss said Braimah was appointed in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech commemorating the 2O21 United Nations International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, a war which must be fought by well-meaning citizens.
He said Braimah is expected to collaborate with NDLEA in propagating the war against drug abuse and illicit trafficking through official and private engagements as a responsible officer of government.
