A retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Nuhu Ribadu, has officially taken over from Maj-Gen Babagana Monguno (retd) as Nigeria’s National Security Adviser. At a brief event in Abuja on Monday, Ribadu on assumption, promised to live up to the expectations of Nigerians and secure the country from all forms of insecurity such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, amongst others. He noted that, President Bola Tinubu, has a huge commitment to securing every inch of the country, admitting that it will work with all stakeholders to deliver on the vision.
Ribadu, a pioneer Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was previously appointed Special Adviser on Security to President Bola Tinubu on June 15, 2023. However, four days after, in an unprecedented shake-up in the country’s security architecture, the President retired Monguno as the National security Adviser and elevated Ribadu as his replacement.
