The new DG of the DSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, admitted that he met with President Muhamamdu Buhari for the first time yesterday, as the President asked him if they have ever met before.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja met, for the first time, with the newly appointed Director-General of the Department of State Services, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It was reported that, when Bichi was ushered into the president’s office by protocol officials, he was asked by the president if they had met before.
The new DG, however, 'confessed’ that he was seeing President Buhari face-to-face for the first time in his life. It was reported that the meeting of the president and the DSS boss went into a closed-door session.
President Buhari on Sept. 13 appointed Bichi, as new Director-General of the Department of State Service (DSS).
Bichi, who replaced Lawal Daura, the former DG of the DSS, is a core Secret Service operative, said Malam Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant to the president on media.
