The role of an ADC is mostly ceremonial, only being done by the military officer.

They will now be giving the president dignity and honour and will be accompanying him on all state and personal visits, be it within or outside the country.

Also, the ADC is mandated to escort the president into or out of the vehicle and closes the door.

Also, ADC occupies the front seat of the president’s vehicle and is mostly seen being the first person to jump out immediately when the vehicle stops.

ADCs also are the ones responsible for the president’s items such as phones and ensure that the seat of the president is well guarded.

When the president is giving the speech, ADC stands at the back and stays alert, and seats behind the president.
