Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Nuhu Ribadu, has officially assumed office as Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, taking over from Maj-Gen Babagana Monguno (retd). “This enormous task of securing our country is that of all Nigerians and all friends of Nigeria,” Ribadu concluded, as reported by the NSA Office. However, in an unprecedented shake-up within the country’s security architecture, Monguno was retired as NSA, and Ribadu was elevated as his replacement just four days later. Ribadu, born on November 21, 1960, in Adamawa State, is widely known for his tenure as EFCC boss from 2003 to 2007. Ribadu holds a Bachelor of Laws Degree from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State and a Master of Laws Degree from the same university.
