    Between 18th and 21st January, 2023, the Department of State Services (DSS) at its National Headquarters, Abuja held a four day Strategic Workshop for its State Directors of Security and Heads of Institutions.

    The workshop was part of the Service’s preparedness for the general elections.

    During the exercise, the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, presented a keynote address on the preparation of the Commission towards the election.

    He assured the Service of the Commission’s determination to deliver free, fair, and credible elections.

    Also, the Commission, through its Director of Legal, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, educated participants on the Electoral Act 2022 and its implications for security agencies.

    The Service reviewed the security situation in the country and assured INEC of its support, which is in line with the President’s pronouncement to the world to bequeath a free and fair election.
