Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was on Monday appointed by President Bola Tinubu as National Security Adviser, NSA, making him the first-ever NSA without military background since the return to democratic governance in 1999.
Ribadu's appointment was announced via the Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federal (OSGF) and signed by the Director of Information, Mr Willie Bassey, putting to rest the speculations that the president might consider a non-military person for the position.
Ribadu, who was the first Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will become the third retired police officer after the late Gambo Jimeta and Ismaila Gwarzo to be appointed to the position.
