President Buhari Makes New Appointment

President Buhari has made a new appointment.

Glamtush reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed retiring Assistant Inspector General of Police, Garba Baba Umar, as a Senior Security Adviser on International Police Cooperation and Counter-terrorism in the office of the Minister of Police Affairs in order to allow Nigeria to maintain its significant position and allow him to finish his nationally advantageous tenure as an Executive Member of the International Police Organization (INTERPOL).

This online newspaper understands that in approving his appointment, Buhari took note of a precedent in which a former Executive Member, AIG Kamal Subair (Rtd), was retained in service by the Federal Government of Nigeria after retirement in 2018.

This was disclosed in a statement by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, on Thursday.
