National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries have collaborated on drug prevention, treatment and care to reduce the impact of drugs in society.
The chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), General Buba Marwa, represented by deputy commander General Narcotics, Dr Ngozi Madubuike, has expressed the agency’s dedication to implementing the federal government’s agenda of reducing wrong use of drugs and addiction in the country.

He made this statement during a three-day sensitisation training on “Drug Prevention, Treatment and Care” held from 19 to 21 April 2025 at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, International Headquarters Annexe Abuja.

He said that the essence of the training is to create awareness, equip the participants with the skills to prevent drug use amongst young people and to offer necessary support to families and individuals who are struggling with addiction.

He said, “The NDLEA is doing its best. We have two major functions that the act establishing the agency has mandated us to carry out: we are to ensure that drugs are not available by seizing them, arresting them, and handing them over for prosecution.

“We also go to different places like schools, religious centres, markets, parks to create awareness, to educate them on the consequences of drug abuse and to seek their support to eradicate drug addiction in the country.”

Similarly, the senior regional overseer and resident pastor, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Edwin Etomi, while commending the participants, said that the training on prevention, treatment and care is a fulfilment of one of the general overseer’s visions of repositioning the youths from going into wrong use of drugs and enhancing their capabilities to develop themselves through sports, music and other ideological means of evangelising to be useful to society.

He said, “ With the establishment of a rehab center by the church, which is a fulfilled vision of the General Overseer (G.O) Dr D.K Olukoya, the training of the NDLEA will go a long way to help in counseling victims while praying, to get help from the rehab centre to be reintegrated into the society. At the family level, this awareness and training will be able to do a little bit to foster aid to drug users, before they go for therapy in the rehab centre.”

Also, the programme coordinator, Dr Pastor Edikan Abasi Udoh, said that poverty contributes to the high rates of drug use, because the money that comes from drugs is so high, in essence luring many youths to go into the business.

She stressed the importance of parents taking more action at the family level, looking out for the early signs of problems in their wards, and seeking appropriate solutions before they degenerate.

She said, “Partnering with NDLEA is an edge to our evangelism, as it has taught us a better way of handling drug addicts and making referrals for rehabilitation while praying for healing.
