Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, the nominated Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assumed office.
Yusuf stepped into his new role on Monday, barely four weeks to the inauguration of the President-elect.
The army officer is adjudged to be familiar with the workings of Aso Rock, having previously served in sensitive roles in the Presidential Villa during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
The new ADC is bringing to the job his experience in intelligence and VIP protocol and protection.
The President-elect is said to have sought the permission of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, to have the senior military officer work with him as he prepares to take over the mantle from President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29.
A check through his profile of the officer shows that Yusuf ran many academic and military courses to become a top military officer in the Nigerian Army.
After completing his Ordinary National Diploma in Computer Science in Offa Polytechnic in the year 2000, Yusuf enrolled in the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, Kaduna, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Elect-Elect).
Between 2004 and 2005, he attended Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, RMAS, in the United Kingdom.
The RMAS is an institution where all officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibility of leading their soldiers.
