Assistant Commander of Narcotics (ACN) Sadiya Ahmad Dogara, the NDLEA Wudil Area Commander of the Kano State Command, made the courtesy visit to Al-Istiqama University Sumaila, where the donation took place.
This was disclosed by the Public Relations Officer of NDLEA Kano Command, ASN Sadiq Muhammad Maigatari, in a statement made available to the press in Kano.
The motorcycles were donated during the visit by ACN Sadiya Ahmad Dogara, which was part of the Command’s ongoing efforts to sensitise university students and the surrounding community about the dangers of illicit substances and prevent their use.
During the meeting, Professor Sheikh Salisu Shehu, the Vice Chancellor of Al-Istiqama University, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to partnering with the NDLEA in the fight against drug abuse.
He commended the NDLEA for their swift responses to invitations and their successful operations in apprehending drug peddlers around the campus.
As a token of appreciation and confidence in the NDLEA’s efforts, the university donated two motorcycles to the Wudil Area Command.
ASN Maigatari noted that the donation, made on behalf of the university’s founder, Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila, would significantly enhance the NDLEA’s surveillance and operational capabilities in Sumaila and the surrounding areas.
ACN Sadiya Ahmad Dogara, representing the State Commander, CN AI Ahmad, expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the donation.
She emphasised that the NDLEA officers would intensify their efforts to combat illicit drug use and drug abuse not only on the university campus but throughout the Sumaila Local Government Area and the Wudil Area Command.
