The Federal Executive Council has approved over four billion nairas for the construction of barracks to accommodate the personnel of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami says the project became necessary because of the unprecedented threats and attacks on personnel, officers, men and other ranks of the agency.
He says the need has arisen for the Federal Government to consider the possibility of security measures that will now provide the prerequisite protection to the officers and men of the agency for commission.
