The newly reconstituted Governing Board of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned officers against improper conduct.
This followed the approval of promotion for two officers for outstanding performance
as well as punishment for eighteen (18) others.
While some were elevated in
rank, others were however punished for various disciplinary offenses in line
with the NDLEA Act.
The Board which commenced sitting immediately after it was
inaugurated by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello
Adoke in Abuja a fortnight ago promised to reward hard work and punish acts of
wrongdoing in line with best practices.
Two officers were elevated for dedication and bravery.
Eight
others with disciplinary cases had their appointments terminated.
The reasons
for their termination include corrupt practices, dereliction of duty, falsehood
and prevarication as well as gross misconduct.
Similarly, two other officers were demoted by one rank for unlawful
exercise of authority and improper conduct.
Other forms of punishment meted out
to the officers include loss of seniority and administrative warning.
The NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Ahmadu Giade who is the
Board Chairman urged officers to be dedicated and steadfast in service of the
country. “Reward for excellence and outstanding performance as well as
punishment for improper conduct is a continuous exercise. I hereby urge
officers to remain dedicated to duty” Giade charged.
