Ahmed Abubakar, the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), has resigned from his position, citing personal and family reasons. Abubakar tendered his resignation to President Bola Tinubu on August 24 at the presidential villa in Abuja.
After his meeting with the President, Abubakar addressed the media, explaining his decision to step down. "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 stated. He emphasized that the resignation was amicable, and he would continue to support national security efforts.
Abubakar noted that he resigned after a routine briefing with the President, during which he discussed various issues. "It's a routine thing, from time to time, to brief Mr. President on situations, on issues, and today is no exception. After the briefing, I tendered my resignation, and Mr. President graciously approved and accepted it," he said. Abubakar expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve the nation, highlighting his extended 15-month tenure as a significant period of service.
Ahmed Abubakar was appointed as the Director General of the NIA in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
