Ahmed Audi, the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has had his appointment renewed for another period of five years by President Bola Tinubu.
His reappointment took effect from February 27, 2026.
The Special Adviser to the President on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced Audi’s reappointment in a statement on Saturday, February 28.
Onanuga, in the statement said that Audi will resume office with a new mandate on Monday, March 2.
Here’s the irony. Audi retired from public service
on Friday, February 27, Audi
after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60 years, and the completion of his tenure.
The NSCDC boss who was appointed into office by the late President Muhammadu Buhari, assumed office on March 1, 2021.
.
Audi celebrated his final day in office on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Headquarters of the Corp in Abuja, which was the commemoration of the 2026 World Civil Defence Day.
.
A native of Nasarawa State, the NSCDC Boss was born on September 30, 1967.
Well read, Audi holds a PhD in Public Communication from the Nasarawa State
University, Keffi. He holds a Masters in Public Business Administration from the University of Calabar, and is a member of the National Institute.
Audi’s reappointment, however, is not sitting well on number of people who insist that it has deprived those who are due and qualified to assume such responsibility. They point out that if he has attained the mandatory service retirement age, he should have gone to rest, so others will grow and attain the ranks due to them.
