President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated ”one of the best operational brains in the nation’s intelligence circles,” Amb. Ahmed Rufa’i as he clocks 70 years.
The President’s congratulatory message is contained in a statement by his Spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Sunday in Abuja.
Rufa’i, who recently received the title of Sardaunan Katsina, has worked as an intelligence officer and a foreign service specialist for more than three decades.
Rufa’i, who is the current Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), had served in the African Union and the United Nations, leaving behind an enviable global record.
According to Buhari, Rufa’i has continued to provide deep insights about the threats faced by the country from within and outside as he steers the country’s strategic interests and intelligence efforts.
The president wished him many more years of service to the nation.
