The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Oyo State Command, has decorated 114 newly promoted officers at the Command Headquarters, Onireke, Ibadan.
The ceremony, attended by the special guest, the Zonal Commander, Zone 9, ACGN Sylvester Obaniyi, was hosted by the State Commander, Cmdr. Adetula Oluwarotimi Lawal.
Also in attendance were senior officers, families, and well-wishers.
The highlight was the decoration of CN Obiajuru Okorie, Seven Deputy Commanders of Narcotics and 106 other officers and men promoted to various ranks.
In his address, Cmdr. Lawal congratulated the officers, describing their promotion as a call to greater responsibility, professionalism, integrity, and selfless service.
He urged them to make meaningful contributions to society, emphasising that they should strive to create lasting impact rather than merely wear their new ranks.
