It was a day after President Bola Tinubu was inaugurated and he was one of the eminent personalities having their usual rendezvous at the Abuja residence of a popular billionaire businessman when someone broached the subject of how the president could form the new government.
But barely a week after that engaging occasion, Ribadu was announced as a special adviser on security to the president! And a few days ago, he was named as the National Security Adviser to the president. What a round peg in a round hole that is! As noted by many commentators, the schedule of the NSA straddles different but relevant professional capabilities such as military, law enforcement, intelligence services, international relations, financial controls and developmental spheres.
So, in the modern world, the role of the NSA is changing. Governments are looking for intelligent men and women whose resume shows capabilities in peacebuilding, intelligence gathering and analysis, developmental issues and in the case of Nigeria, an advocate of inclusiveness. This is the hope that Ribadu offers our country as NSA. I see him as a paradigm shift in our security architecture; a new template for the management of Nigeria’s national security. It is certainly not a hype to say Ribadu fits the bill of a modern day NSA. Ribadu was an intelligence police operative who retired as Assistant Inspector General of Police. He came into limelight as a star prosecutor at the Oputa Panel which was created to investigate human rights abuses during the military era.
