The sudden decision has sparked speculation and curiosity, as the reason behind the resignation remains unclear.
Speaking to the media after meeting the President, the outgoing Director General confirmed that he had personally submitted his resignation to President Tinubu, who accepted it. He expressed his gratitude to the President for allowing him to serve the nation in such a critical role. He highlighted that it is a rare opportunity to serve under two different administrations in that capacity, a privilege he was fortunate to experience.
