President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi as the new Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, announced this in a statement on Monday.
Ajayi replaces Yusuf Magaji Bichi who was appointed by ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2018.
The new DSS Director-General, Mr. Adeola Ajayi, rose through the ranks to attain his current post of Assistant Director-General of the Service. He had, at various times, served as State Director in Bauchi, Enugu, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Kogi.
President Tinubu expects that the new security chiefs will work assiduously to reposition the two intelligence agencies for better results and charges them to bring their experience to bear in tackling the security challenges bedeviling the country through enhanced collaboration with sister agencies and in surgical alignment with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
The President thanks the outgoing Directors-General of the DSS for their services to the nation while wishing them success in their future endeavours.
