The Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, on Saturday tendered his resignation to President Bola Tinubu.
Mr Abubakar disclosed this to State House reporters on Saturday shortly after he met with Tinubu at Aso Villa, Abuja.
He said he is quitting due to personal reasons and Tinubu understood with him and accepted. Though he did not give further details.
Abubakar, a 71-year-old retired career foreign service officer from Katsina state, was appointed as NIA boss in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who extended his stay in office in December 2021.
