Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), has tendered his resignation to President Bola Tinubu, effective today, August 24.
While the precise reasons for his departure remain undisclosed, there is speculation that the NIA DG Abubakar may have stepped down to avoid becoming entangled in the ongoing challenges facing Nigeria’s economy.
Appointed in January 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar’s tenure has been marked by significant developments within the agency, but recent economic turmoil could have influenced his decision to leave his post.

Abubakar’s resignation has raised questions about his potential dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in the country and the society at large
With Nigeria facing economic difficulties and mounting pressures on government officials, his decision to step down might reflect a desire to distance himself from issues beyond his control.
Rather than continue in a position where he could become a target of public and political discontent, Abubakar appears to have chosen to leave on his own terms, possibly to preserve his integrity and avoid conflict with the nation’s leadership.
Abubakar’s departure signals a significant shift within the NIA and raises concerns about the agency’s future leadership during a critical period for Nigeria.
