The United States government has donated seven vehicles and a variety of technical equipment to the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), as part of its continued support for the counter-narcotics agency.
U.S. Consul General John Bray, who made the donation on Wednesday at a brief ceremony in Lagos, emphasised the importance of law enforcement cooperation between the U.S. and Nigeria in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse in the country.
“We are pleased to support the NDLEA in its efforts to fight drug trafficking. We share the same objective of ridding our societies of the harmful effects of narcotics trafficking and illicit drug use,” said Bray, who handed over the vehicles to the NDLEA Director of Training and Manpower Development, Dr Linus Opara.
The items and equipment included three Honda Accord vehicles, three Toyota Hilux trucks, one Toyota Hiace van, a Smith Detection body scan unit, and 16 laptop computers.
