Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), has resigned.
Abubakar, a 71-year-old retired career foreign service officer from Katsina state, was appointed head of the agency by former President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2018.
His tenure was extended in 2021.
Abubakar, who blamed his decision on personal and family issues, said “There are quite a number of reasons one would do that. Some personal, family issues. But nothing very serious actually.
“I discussed with Mr. President, he understood very well, and I promised to remain steadfast with issues and the security situations of the country,” he stated.
Abubakar disclosed this to State House reporters on Saturday shortly after meeting with the President.
