As you are aware, the government is transitioning, and it is time for me to step down as the Director General of the NCA,” he added.
“Before the appointment of a new Director General, I wish to officially inform you that I am embarking on my terminal leave, effective January 7, 2025, and will be handing over to my two Deputy Directors General.
