 The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has restated its commitment towards ensuring that the society is right of all forms of drug abuse and illicit substances. The commander of narcotics and commander, NDLEA, Marine Command, Azik Housa, satirized during the presentation of certificates and licenses to officers who have successfully completed the maritime competency training courses and examinations held in Lagos. Again, plus the cross-fondant, Lave Kukui Adokun tells us more. For quite some time, Lagos waterways have become unsafe. It's perceived by passengers as channels of death despite the government's regulations and regular supply of life-saving jackets. The situation is made worse when crew members are inadequately trained. They cannot properly respond in the event of a disaster. All that is now going to be history with the training of these NDLEA marine officers on how to keep the waterways safe and free of drugs. Commander of narcotics, Marine Command, Lagos, Mr. Azik Housa, and the area manager, National Inland Waterways Authority, engineer Sirat Larabraimo, are confident that the training will go a long way to boost their activities on the waterways. They have gotten the appropriate training and the knowledge to work effectively and efficiently in our water to ensure that the maritime, this in the water, is safe and secure and also to make it very hot for the enemies of this country who are operating as criminals who use the waterways. When they are trained, they know how to drive, they know what to do on the waters. So after they are culpated, they will not be caught on the way. So they can actually know what and what rules are involved in navigation in the inland waterways. In her remarks, representative of the British High Commission, Lagos Maria Maxwell, described the training as an excellent one. She commanded the course provider and said she looks forward to future results from the delivery of the training. Home Office international operations are supporting the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency to develop the maritime capabilities to protect Nigeria from the threat of organised drug crime. In doing so, we capacity build and support the NDLEA at the seaports and the airports and they must commend the NDLEA on recording such huge successes. Aded Osumu on his part spoke about the uniqueness of the sector and why training such as this is important. Even for those that are going to handle the smallest inland watercraft must be trained and certified fit to be able to handle them because in shipping or marine services the most important thing to us is safety. The offices were trained on power boats and RIB master course, day skippers course, Koso Uyatsmasu, advanced boat handling for Koso passage and marine radio short range communication.
