Founding member of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu, yesterday officially resumed his position as National Security Adviser, (NSA).
Speaking on his first day in office as the newly appointed NSA, who officially replaced his predecessor, Major-General Babagana Monguno, pledged to live up to Nigerians’ hopes and expectations.
Ribadu expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for restoring faith in a more secure country.
Recall that penultimate Monday, President Bola Tinubu appointed Ribadu as NSA, the first without military background since the return to democratic governance in 1999.
The announcement of his appointment put to rest the speculations that the president might consider a non-military person for the position.
Ribadu, who was the pioneer EFCC chairman, will become the third retired police officer after the Late Gambo Jimeta and Isma’ila Gwarzo to be appointed to the position.
