PMB replaces Ade Abolurin with Abdullahi Muhammadu as new Civil Defence commandant

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday approved the appointment of Mr. Abdullahi Muhammadu as the new Commandant-General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps. 

Muhammadu succeeds Dr. Ade Abolurin, who has retired from service. According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the new NSCDC boss, who was an Assistant Commandant-General of the NSCDC before his new appointment, hailed from Muye in Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State.

Muhammadu holds a B.Sc in Sociology from the University of Sokoto, and a Masters in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.


President Muhammadu Buhari had on Thursday dissolved the governing boards of all federal parastatals, agencies and institutions.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the dissolution took effect from Thursday.

Adesina said until the boards are reconstituted, the Chief Executive Officers of the affected parastatals, agencies and institutions are to refer all matters requiring the attention of their boards to the President, through the Permanent Secretaries of their supervising ministries.


He however said the dissolution did not affect Federal Executive Bodies listed in the 1999 Constitution but that the dissolution order covered administrative or technical committees and other similar organs established by the now dissolved boards.

Buhari also terminated the appointment of Mr. Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi as the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.

Adesina announced the sack in a statement made available to journalists. He however did not give reason for the termination of Akpobolokemi’s appointment, which he said took immediate effect.
