A graduate of Education Administration and Accountancy from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Offor joined the NDLEA as a cadet officer on November 1, 1994.
Over the years, he has served in several strategic capacities within the agency, including as Deputy State Commander of the Ebonyi State Command and Deputy Zonal Commander of Zone 12 in Owerri, Imo State.
In a statement on Friday, the agency described him as a seasoned narcotics officer whose experience, professionalism and dedication to duty contributed to his appointment.
On resumption of duty, Offor pledged to reinforce the agency’s operations in Rivers State through intelligence-led enforcement and sustained preventive measures.
He said, “I will uphold the core values of the agency through robust enforcement, intelligence-led operations, and sustained public sensitisation and prevention programmes.”
The new commander also called on stakeholders, traditional institutions, the media, and members of the public to support the NDLEA’s efforts to curb illicit drug activities and related crimes in the state.
