The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has urged graduating Narcotics Cadets to be resolute in their fight against illicit drugs, emphasizing that the menace poses significant threats to national security and public health.
Speaking at the graduation parade and parchment ceremony of Basic Narcotics Cadet Course 8, held at the Leadership Training School in Tema, the Minister commended the current leadership of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) for their renewed zeal and drive in combating drug trafficking.
According to him, the increase in arrests is a manifestation of much more tighter measures put in place to make Ghana unattractive for illicit drugs trafficking syndicates. He added that Government, in collaboration with NACOC, is committed to dismantling various drug networks and ensuring a safer environment for all citizens.
Hon. Muntaka noted that the graduating cadets has successfully completed the six-and-half-month training programme equipping them with the necessary techniques in cracking down and impounding illicit drug dens in the country.
