He highlighted the evolution of NISS, tracing its origin from Abuja Training School (ATS), established by DSS in 1999, which later became Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in 2008, dedicated to training senior officers in advanced security and intelligence policy making, at the end of which qualified participants to be conferred with Fellow of Security Institute (fsi); a criterion for advancement into management cadre.

He explained that, the Institute was elevated to its current status by the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS) Bill signed into Law in June 2019, by former President Muhammadu Buhari

He said this elevation placed NISS at par with National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) and the National Defence College (NDC), while maintaining its strong coordination by the DSS.

 

Chairman of the occasion, and former Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu lauded the solidarity and presence of former DGs of the Service, noting that, the unison will be instrumental to the overall success of NISS and DSS at large.

 

The six former DGs of the foremost intelligence agency, who graced the occasion in support of the new DG’s mettle of walking in the footprints of his forbearers were; Peter C. Nwaoduah (1992-1999), Rtd Col. L.K.K. Are (1999-2007), A. A Gadzama (2007-2010), Ekpenyong Ita (2010-2015), M.B Seiyefa (2018) and the immediate past DG, Yusuf Bichi (2018-2024).

 

In a vote of thanks on behalf of the retired DGs, Rtd. Col Are eulogized the tremendous transformations in the national institute since its establishment and thanked the current management for sustaining the dream of the national institute’s founders.

 

He encouraged the DGSS, service chiefs, and graduates to forge ahead in ensuring the protection of Nigeria’s national security and also called for government support to achieve the national institute’s goal of deepening research in the fields of security and intelligence management.

 

The occasion was rounded off with a goodwill video from another former DG, A K Horsfall, who equally congratulated the Course 17 graduates and announced his support for the formation of Forum of retired DGs’ at the instance of the new DGSS.

 

He posited that this novel initiative will provide a pool of rich knowledge experience and ideas from the intelligence veterans for the benefit of current and future DSS leaders, as well as enhance the smooth transition of successive administrations in the service.
