Breaking: President Buhari makes new appointment

To enable Nigeria to keep the important position and make way for him to complete his nationally beneficial tenure as an Executive Member of the International Police Organization, INTERPOL, President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed the retiring Assistant Inspector General of Police, Garba Baba Umar, as a Senior Security Adviser on International Police Cooperation and Counter-terrorism in the office of the Minister of Police Affairs.

In approving his appointment, Buhari took note of a precedent in which a former Executive Member, AIG Kamal Subair (Rtd), was retained in service by the Federal Government of Nigeria after retirement in 2018.

This was disclosed in a statement by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, on Thursday.

The President also took note of the fact that during his tenure as a member of the Executive Committee, AIG Umar assisted Nigeria in many ways, with the hope that in the remaining one year, he will even do more in securing equipment for crime scenes, border management and counter-terrorism for the country and in helping to get more Nigerians into important positions in the INTERPOL.
