“Zeera Group Empowers NACOC with High-Tech Gear to Combat Drug Crime”

Story by Fada Amakye

The Zeera Group of Companies has donated modern communication equipment worth GHS81,000 to the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) to enhance its visibility and public engagement in the fight against drug-related crimes.

The donation includes a Canon EOS R8 camera, professional-grade lenses, a camera flash, and branded reflective vests. These tools are expected to significantly improve NACOC’s ability to document and communicate its work to the public.

Brigadier General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, Director-General of NACOC, described the support as timely, given the agency’s growing challenges from increasingly tech-savvy criminal networks. He tasked the Public Affairs Department to ensure the newly acquired equipment is put to good use.

The donation was made possible through the support of Alhaji Seidu Agongo, CEO of Zeera Group. The group is known for its commitment to national development and philanthropy, with increased financial and material support to organizations and individuals across the country.

Nana Osei Nkwantabisa, Head of Public Affairs at NACOC, expressed gratitude to Zeera Group and NACOC leadership, pledging to use the equipment to enhance the Commission’s outreach and transparency. He assured management that the newly acquired equipment will be put to good use and properly maintained.

This donation comes on the heels of NACOC’s recent successes, including a record 3.3-tonne cocaine seizure in March, highlighting the growing threat of sophisticated drug syndicates and the need for NACOC to remain visible and well-equipped.
