Youths Task New DSS Boss On Intelligence Gathering

The Nigeria Youth Organisation has called on the new Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. Adeola Ajayi, to prioritise strengthening intelligence gathering as an essential component in addressing the nation’s security challenges.

The organisation’s president, Comrade Alamboye Duke, addressed the media in Abuja and said the new DSS DG should develop initiatives that actively involve Nigerian youths, recognising them as key partners in fostering a safer and more secure Nigeria.

He insisted that only by including youth perspectives and participation in security programmes can Mr Ajayi inspire a new generation of citizens dedicated to national peace and progress.

Comrade Duke while congratulating Ajayi on his appointment as the new boss of the DSS, noted that his appointment at this critical juncture of the nation’s history underscores President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to securing Nigeria’s future through capable and experienced leadership.

Duke acknowledged what he described as Ajayi’s “remarkable track record cultivated over 30 years in intelligence and security operations across various states including Rivers, Bayelsa, and Kogi, among others, as well as his extensive training in management, security leadership and critical thinking, both in Nigeria and abroad, making him uniquely qualified to head the DSS in these challenging times”.

The NYO leader expressed confidence in Ajayi’s capacity to elevate the DSS and collaborate with other stakeholders to improve stability, security and unity across the nation.

The group said it is extending profound appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for finding in Ajayi the leadership that can guide the DSS.

Reacting to Monday’s arrest of the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, Duke said the DSS must have a good reason and Nigerians should be patient as clarifications would soon be made.
