The NSA is more powerful than the vice President. Like he has more security clearance than the vice President as the whole intelligence passes through him to get to the president. Although the vice president is closer to the line of succession 239 Likes 12 Shares |

Personally, I never paid much attention to the office, neither was the office an object of much attention to the press untill Jonathan's administration. Dasuki made the office popular, albeit in a negative light. As per how powerful it is in hierarchy, I honestly don't know. 60 Likes 1 Share |

It's called National Security Adviser for a purpose, all security arms give that office a weekly report, the head of that office can recommend an immediate sack of any of the service chiefs, the office is quite influential. 138 Likes 6 Shares |

Nigerians are funny. In this country, any office is as powerful as the president wants the holder of that office to be. Tunde Sabiu was just a personal assistant to Buhari, but he was more powerful than the Vice President, Senate President, NSA, and service chiefs combined. Just as Obasanjo's Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Matters (Andy Uba) was the most powerful in his government. Considering how much Ribadu seems to have ingratiated and enmeshed himself into this BAT's sinister inner caucus, of course he would likely be more powerful than all the service chiefs combined. Not necessarily because he is the NSA, but because HE is the NSA. Remember the massive difference between Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff and the Kwara diplomat Gambari as Chief of Staff. It's never about the office, but always about the person occupying the office. 430 Likes 47 Shares |

Natural2Heal: That depends on how the President wants it. When you throw the history between the President and the new NSA in the mix, the NSA will have the ear of the President and therefore will be more influential than any service chief. Any service chief that subverts the office of the NSA by failing to cooperate will have his day with the President, and that could mean a sack. If the person who has the power to hire and fire you say, work with my PA, and you refuse, no be sack you dey look for? 40 Likes |

Ireportlive: Correct. Emphasis on "Adviser" in National Security Adiser. The NSA can advise a President, who trusts his judgement implicitly, to fire any service Chief at any time. It is as simple as that because the security of a nation is very important. 8 Likes |

DaveHarry: Not at all. It is some Nigerian Presidents who have made the office seem so because they use executive power , and the over-powerful office of the Nigerian President, dictatorially. In nations with institutional integrity, with strong checks and balances, an NSA must have the ears and trust of the President. 1 Like |

hedonido:Boss you finish work. You said it as it is. The president can make the office powerful and not the holder. Just as you mentioned Abba Kyari vs Gambari. We saw the difference. Ribadu will be one of the most powerful office holder under PBAT. the two have come a long way. 12 Likes |

NSA is a position headed by a skilled person who understands security in every angles. More like a consultant. The president listen to him and becus the president can't listen (doesn't know much about security or have time to attend to all service chief), hence the office of the NSA gives feedback to the president in a layman language (just an illustration) So, all service chief are king in their domain but the NSA is like their class teacher whom dey must submit their report to for the presidents understanding of what's is what 30 Likes 1 Share |
