arms.

officers and others who were seconded from
various government agencies

their services in the NSA’s office before he
travelled with President Muhammadu Buhari to
France on Monday
Informed security sources disclosed to the Tribune
Online that General Monguno had, last week
Thursday, held a brief meeting with all the
directors where he informed them of a lot of things
going wrong in his office
According to the source, the issue of allowances
and welfare of junior staff were not taken serious
by the directors as they allegedly did not care how
the personnel were faring.

handover notes within one week and hand over to
their next in rank.
The NSA further directed those deployed from other
agencies and are still in service to return to their
formations.
