Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, has resigned his appointment.
Briefing journalists at the State House after meeting with President Tinubu, the former NIA boss cited personal and family issues as his reasons for resigning from office.
“There are quite a number of reasons one will do that. Some personal family issues, but nothing very serious, actually, and the friendship will continue,” he said.
“I discussed with Mr. President, he understood very well, and I promised to remain steadfast with issues and the security situations of the country.”
Abubakar was appointed in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari. He was reappointed in December 2021.
