NDLEA chairman harps on unity, patriotism as key to Nigeria’s progress
The Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Buba Marwa, has said that unity and patriotism remain the key to achieving Nigeria’s greatness.
Marwa stated this at the 40th anniversary and reunion of the Nigeria Military School, NMS, 1984 set on Saturday in Abuja.
The theme of the event is ‘Leveraging on Nigeria’s diversity for inclusive Nation Building: Pathway to Leadership, stability and Prosperity’.
The NDLEA boss congratulated the 1984 set on their achievements, noting that their success was a testament to the quality of training they received at the NMS.
Marwa stressed that the NMS was a microcosm of Nigeria, where brotherhood, unity, and love of country were instilled in its students.
He expressed concern over the challenges facing the country, including ethnic and religious divisions, urging Nigerians to remain committed to a united Nigeria.
“Forty years is deserving of celebration. It is heartwarming to know that quite a number of members of this set have done very well for themselves, either in the military or in civil life.
“Usually, moments like this are also opportunities for sober reflections about our common bond and common fate as a nation.
“The past few years have thrown up issues that challenge the unity of this country, leaving many of our citizens to question the continuing coexistence of the multiethnic groups that make up Nigeria,” he said.
