“It’s a routine thing, from time to time, to brief Mr. President on situations, on issues, and today is no exception.

“After the briefing, I tendered my resignation and Mr. President graciously approved and accepted the resignation.

“I thanked him for giving me the opportunity to serve Nigeria under his transformational leadership for an extended period of 15 months, which is very rare.”

He has held the position since January 2018, overseeing the nation’s foreign intelligence operations.

He was appointed by former president Muhammadu Buhari.
