Background

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is a Federal agency in Nigeria charged with eliminating the growing, processing, manufacturing, selling, exporting, and trafficking of hard drugs. The agency was established by (Presidential) Decree No. 48 of January 1989 (now an Act of Parliament).  It traces its roots back to 1935 when the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance was enacted to control drug trafficking and abuse.
