According to Daily Nigerian, sources revealed that President Tinubu may appoint a replacement for Bichi from among the serving assistant directors. This move would ensure a smooth transition and maintain continuity in the agency's operations.
Bichi's resignation comes after serving in the role since September 14, 2018, when he was appointed by the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari to replace Matthew Seiyefa, who served in an acting capacity. During his tenure, Bichi oversaw various security operations and worked closely with other intelligence agencies.
Bichi's resignation follows that of his counterpart, Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, who tendered his resignation to President Tinubu on Saturday, August 24. The development suggests a potential shake-up in the country's security leadership under the new administration.
