President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mohamed Mohammed as the new Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Adeola Ajayi as the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Mohammed, a seasoned foreign service officer, has had a distinguished career since joining the NIA in 1995. He has served in various roles, including as the head of the Nigerian mission to Libya.
Adeola Ajayi, on the other hand, has risen through the ranks to become the Assistant Director-General of the Service. He has served as a State Director in several states, including Bauchi, Enugu, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Kogi.
These appointments come after the resignation of the previous NIA and DSS chiefs. President Tinubu expects the new security chiefs to work diligently to reposition the two intelligence agencies for better results.
