NDLEA Offers Free Drug Tests for New Security Recruits

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has confirmed that applicants seeking recruitment into four Nigerian security agencies will not be required to pay for the mandatory Drug Integrity Tests (DIT). This decision follows a bulk payment made by the Ministry of Interior to cover the costs associated with the tests.

The agencies involved include the Nigerian Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. The NDLEA emphasized that applicants and personnel must not pay any fees to NDLEA officials, testing centers, or through other payment channels.

The agency outlined the registration process, instructing candidates to access the NDLEA Drug Integrity Test portal via designated links on their respective institutional portals for registration and documentation. This initiative aims to ensure an orderly process while eliminating individual payments.

The NDLEA acknowledged the cooperation of the Ministry of Interior and reaffirmed its commitment to a smooth and transparent implementation of the exercise.
