The resignation, which comes amid ongoing security challenges in Nigeria, was communicated to the Presidency through a formal letter, citing personal reasons for his decision to step down.
A source within the Ministry revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has acknowledged the resignation and will begin consultations to appoint a replacement. The Ministry assured the public that ongoing defence operations and military initiatives would continue without disruption.
Political analysts say Badaru’s resignation could impact current security policies, but the government has pledged continuity in addressing security challenges nationwide.
No official replacement has been announced yet, but the Presidency is expected to make an announcement in the coming days.
