Director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Ahmed Abubakar has tendered his resignation to President Bola Tinubu.
Abubakar submitted his resignation letter to Tinubu on Saturday.
“After the briefing, I tendered my resignation and Mr President graciously approved and accepted the resignation,” he told State House reporters.
Appointed in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, the intelligence chief said he resigned due to “personal, family issues.”
“I discussed with Mr President, he understood very well and I promised to remain committed with issues under security situations in the country,” he said.
