NIA DG, Ahmed Rufai resigns
The Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Mr Ahmed Rufai Abubakar has resigned.
Rufai tendered his resignation to President Bola Tinubu on Saturday but no clear reasons was given for the decision.
Abubakar was appointed in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari. He was reappointed in December 2021.
In a brief chat with Abubakar, he said he simply visited the presidency to brief the President on security situation in the country and afterwards tendered his resignation.
“Its a routine thing, from time to time, I brief Mr President on situations in the country and today is no exception. After the briefing today, actually I tendered my resignation and Mr. President graciously approved and accepted the resignation.
“I thanked him for giving me the opportunity to serve Nigeria under his transformational leadership for a period, for an extended period of 15 months, which is very rare, by the way, to serve, to have the opportunity to serve two Presidents at a stretcher at a go,” he stated.
