President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of new Directors-General for two key intelligence agencies in Nigeria. Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed has been appointed as the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and Mr. Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi has been appointed as the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Ambassador Mohammed has had a distinguished career in the foreign service, joining the NIA in 1995. Over the years, he has served in various significant roles, leading to his promotion to Director. Most recently, he was the head of the Nigerian mission to Libya.
A 1990 graduate of Bayero University, Kano, Ambassador Mohammed has also served in North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan, and at the State House in Abuja.
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.
The new appointments follow the resignation of the previous NIA and DSS chiefs.
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 two pivotal intelligence agencies for their services to the nation while wishing them success in their future endeavours.
