Newly appointed National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu says
he will strive to discharge his duty and meet Nigerians’ expectations.
Mr Ribadu said this on Sunday in a tweet posted via his
verified account.
He also extended his appreciation to friends and
well-wishers over his recent appointment as the president’s security advisor.
“Many of you–friends and well-wishers–have sent out kind words on my appointment as the National Security Adviser (NSA) by His Excellency President @officialABAT,” the former EFCC chair stated. “I sincerely appreciate your felicitations and prayers. I shall strive to discharge this confidence reposed in me.”
Penultimate Monday, President Bola Tinubu appointed Mr
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.
Mr Ribadu, pioneer EFCC chairman, will become the third
retired police officer after the late Gambo Jimeta and Ismaila Gwarzo to be
appointed to the position.
The new NSA was born on November 21, 1960, and was an
intelligence police operative who retired as assistant inspector general of
police (AIG). He came to the national limelight as a star prosecutor at the
Oputa Panel, created to investigate human rights abuses during the military
era.
Mr Ribadu was later appointed chairman of the Petroleum
Special Revenue Task Force before he became the pioneer EFCC chair, tasked to
counter corruption and fraud in the country.
