NDLEA Seizes 2.49 Million Tramadol Tablets in Gombe
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has confiscated around 2.49 million tramadol tablets and capsules on the Gombe-Bauchi Expressway, with an estimated value exceeding ₦2 billion. The Gombe State NDLEA Commander, Okechukwu Nkere, reported that the truck, disguised with bags of salt, was intercepted on September 13, leading to the arrest of the driver and a passenger. Following a search, officials discovered a large quantity of tramadol concealed within the vehicle, which lacked the necessary pharmaceutical licensing.
Nkere emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in the fight against drug trafficking, stating that tackling this issue requires everyone’s involvement. He also highlighted the potential dangers these drugs posed to the youth in the region. Abdullahi Bello, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, praised the seizure as a significant achievement and reinforced the ongoing partnership between security agencies and the government to ensure safety in Gombe.
Former US President and first Black president, Barack Obama, speaks on leadership and gender. He spoke about how it would be nice for women to be in charge every now and then, as it would strike a balance and advance the government.
“Even when I was President, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, ‘All right, how are things going?’”
“I have a strong belief that things wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better. I’m confident about that. I really do,” he added.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, speaks on the state of the country and President Tinubu’s reign.
He analyses it and shares how Tinubu has made tough decisions. “About three years ago, President Bola Tinubu assumed office amid some very significant and structural challenges, and physical challenges.”
“His administration chose to confront the long-standing distortions rather than postpone them, and those decisions were indeed very difficult and were not politically convenient. And because of those decisions, Nigerians have borne some real costs.”
“Today, however, Nigeria is moving from the difficult work of reforms and stabilisation towards a new phase of growth and shared prosperity.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, speaks on the road projects in Abuja and their completion. He shared that they will be completed and described them as Tinubu’s Christmas gift to citizens.
“We have promised the residents that this will be their Christmas gift by Mr President as part of their Christmas gift so that they’ll go back home and enjoy their Christmas celebration.
“You can imagine the happiness of those who stay here. You know that with these roads, the economy of the affected communities will change,” he said.
