    NDLEA denies carrying out lopsided promotions

    NDLEA

    National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has debunked claims suggesting it embarked on lopsided promotions.

    In a statement released on Wednesday, June 7, by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, it was stated that omotions remain an ongoing exercise based on a number of factors including vacancies.

    The public has been urged to disregard any such information that seeks to cast an aspersion on the strides attained by the NDLEA, especially under the steady leadership of Gen. Marwa.

    The statement read; “Indeed, the issues raised by the category of personnel mentioned in the reports arose in 2011, which was 10 clear years before the current leadership of Brig. Gen. MB Marwa (Retd).

    “However, in a determined bid to motivate the workforce, over 70% of the workforce, a number of who had been stagnated on one rank for 15-20 years, were promoted and their ranks harmonized in 2021 soon after Gen. Marwa assumed leadership of the Agency.

    “Even though more than half of the category of personnel referred to in the reports had been promoted in the recent promotion exercises, the ongoing expansion of the Agency which creates more vacancies for officers and men to move up, no doubt provides the window for the few not yet affected to be elevated in another exercise underway for the junior ranks.

    “Anyone not yet affected can rest assured that the Chairman/CEO considers their welfare paramount and central to the successes so far achieved by his leadership and will continue to pay attention to their career progression in the interest of the overall high productivity goal set for all Commands and formations of the Agency.”
