His initial five-year term ended last Friday as he participated in activities commemorating the 2026 World Civil Defence Day at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Abuja.
“He will resume his duties on Monday with a renewed mandate,” Onanuga stated.
Tinubu charged Audi to reposition the service to play a more significant role in the country’s security, especially as the police refocus on their primary responsibility of protecting citizens from bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists.
Audi was born on September 30, 1967, in Laminga Town, Nasarawa LGA, Nasarawa State.
