Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), has resigned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abubakar tendered his resignation letter to President Bola Tinubu on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to State House correspondents, Abubakar said his letter had been accepted by the president, but did not specify the reason for his resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a routine thing from time to time to brief the president on situations, and today is no exception. After the briefing today, I tendered my resignation and Mr. President graciously approved and accepted the resignation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thanked him for giving me the opportunity to serve Nigeria under his transformational leadership for a period, for an extended period of 15 months. It is very rare, by the way, to have the opportunity to serve two presidents. So, I thanked him very well, and I promised to remain professionally dedicated to our country and noble causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very, very grateful for the opportunity that the president gave me\u2014actually to serve the country and his leadership\u2014the encouragement I got, the confidence he had in me and my service, the opportunity to listen to me, to read briefing notes and advice, and so on. I think this is everything to me, and I have had the opportunity to mentor officers and staff for all the time I have been DG. This is the seventh year, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked the reason for his resignation, Abubakar said: \u201cThere are quite a number of reasons one will do that, some personal family issues, but nothing very serious, actually, and the friendship will continue. I discussed this with Mr President, and he understood very well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
