Marwa, a former military governor of Lagos, was first appointed to lead the agency by former President Muhammadu Buhari. Before that, he chaired a presidential committee on eliminating drug abuse.

Marwa trained at the Nigerian Military School and the Nigerian Defence Academy. He has served in several military and diplomatic roles, including as aide to the army chief, deputy defence adviser in Washington, and defence adviser to Nigeria’s mission at the United Nations.
