President Bola Tinubu has appointed Major-Gen. Adamu Laka as the new National Coordinator of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre in the Office of the National Security Adviser.
He replaces Rear Admiral Musa (retd) who was appointed the centre’s pioneer coordinator by former President Muhammadu Buhari in August 2022.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
The new coordinator had previously served in Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo under the United Nations and was part of the Nigerian contingent in the US AFRICOM exercise in Senegal.
