A former Chief of Defence Research and Development, Major General Henry Ayoola is of the opinion that President Bola Tinubu has performed excellently within his first three weeks in office.
“we must give it to our president, asides from the balance, apart from the zonal and regional balance that we see, the quality of the officers is a testimony to what must have gone behind in thinking out and arriving at this list.
“It’s a kudos to our president,” Maj-Gen Ayoola said.
He further asserted that there is no issue in Tinubu elevating Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to the position of National Security Adviser (NSA).
While giving a brief history on the creation of the NSA position, MAJ-Gen Ayoola stressed that the position has got nothing to do with the hierarchy of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
He explained the confusion some Nigerians have with the NSA position is unnecessary in that the role is clearly defined. Reeling out the constitutional Duties of the NSA, Ayoola stated that the NSA position is a clearing house where intelligence are brought in, collated and integrated to create a national intelligence estimate with which to brief the president.
