Quote:President Muhammadu Buhari former military administrator of Lagos state, Brigadier General Mohammed Buba Marwa (rtd) as the new Director-General of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Insidenaija reports.

Marwa was until recently the chairman of the presidential committee on drug abuse.

Stakeholders had hailed the work and comprehensive report of the committee under Marwa's watch.

As Lagos military administrator, Marwa is famed for introducing Operation Sweep, a security outfit that helped restore sanity and discipline to porous security in Nigeria's commercial city.

Supporters of President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress have been congratulating the Adamawa-born retired military general on his appointment via Twitter.

Others have also been commenting on the appointment with reference to Marwa's work in the past and the optimism that he will do more.

Some others stated that the appointment was borne out of nepotism, an allegation that has refused to go away concerning the Buhari administration.
