Lagos, Nigeria, April 21, 2025: Polaris Bank has reaffirmed its unwavering support for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the fight against drug abuse, trafficking, and money laundering in Nigeria and beyond.

The pledge was made by the Bank’s Managing Director/CEO, Kayode Lawal, during a courtesy visit by a 15-member NDLEA management team to the Bank’s headquarters in Lagos last Wednesday.

Polaris Bank has been a longstanding supporter of NDLEA’s mission, sponsoring advocacy initiatives, and media campaigns, and providing tools and infrastructure to aid the agency’s operations.

Speaking during the visit, Mr. Lawal emphasized that the partnership is rooted in shared values and social responsibility, stating, “The essence of Polaris Bank is not just profitability but fulfilling a moral obligation to society. Our collaboration with NDLEA underscores our commitment to combating crime and protecting our communities.”

He further noted that the Bank’s social responsibility efforts go beyond compliance, highlighting Polaris Bank’s resolve to deepen its partnership with the NDLEA in addressing pressing societal issues.

In appreciation, the NDLEA delegation decorated Mr. Lawal for his and the Bank’s outstanding contributions in supporting the agency’s objectives.

The Bank’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), Charles Oso, was also honored for his leadership in maintaining strong compliance and anti-money laundering systems within the Bank.

The NDLEA team, led by the Director of Assets and Financial Investigation, representing the Chairman/CEO, Dr. Ibrahim Abdul, praised Polaris Bank’s consistent partnership and advocacy efforts, especially in supporting drug rehabilitation programs across Nigeria.

The agency acknowledged that under the leadership of Brigadier General Buba Marwa (retired), NDLEA has made significant progress through advocacy, enforcement, and support services, including the establishment of free toll lines for drug-related assistance.

The NDLEA representative lauded the enduring relationship with Polaris Bank, citing the Bank’s meaningful impact in boosting the agency’s operational effectiveness and strategic initiatives.

Polaris Bank’s efforts were recognized as pivotal in enhancing the national response to drug-related crimes, with the NDLEA noting that the Bank stands out as a committed private sector partner in tackling drug abuse and financial crimes.

Present at the reception were Polaris Bank’s Executive Directors: Chris Ofikulu, Abimbola Ozomah, and Sharafadeen Muhammed, who joined the MD in welcoming the NDLEA delegation.

Polaris Bank, named Nigeria’s Digital Bank of the Year from 2021 to 2024, remains committed to driving inclusive growth, empowering communities, and fostering a safer society.
