Lieutenant General (retired) Aliyu Mohammed Gusau is a former Nigerian army officer who was appointed National Security Advisor by President Goodluck Jonathan on 8 March 2010. He held the same position during most of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidency. Before that he was in military Intelligence, and was briefly Army Chief. He resigned in September 2010, handing over to his deputy Kayode Are. On 5 March 2014, President Goodluck Johnathan appointed Aliyu Gusau as defence minister. Aliyu Gusau was erroneously reported to have resigned his position as Minister of Defence following an alleged altercation with the Chief of Defence Staff and failure of the three Military Chiefs to attend meetings with him.
