The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, disclosed this in a statement last night.
Abati said the president had replaced Abdullahi with Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero, the first son of the Late Emir of Kano.
According to him, Bayero’s appointment as the new NPA managing director takes effect from today.
The presidential aide did not provide any reason for Abdullahi’s removal, but said Jonathan thanked him for his services and wished him well in his future endeavours.
