President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Kogi state born Folashade Arinola Adekaiyaoja as Deputy Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Adekaiyaoja, a native of Kogi State, has been hailed as eminently qualified for the position by a cross-section of officers and operatives. Her appointment was recommended by the DSS Director-General, Mr. Oluwastosin Ajayi, through the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

President Tinubu had tasked security agencies to propose ways to improve service delivery, and Adekaiyaoja’s appointment is seen as a key step in this direction. The President had also promised to support the DSS and other security agencies with Artificial Intelligence-powered equipment to combat insecurity.

The DSS Director-General, Mr. Ajayi, had pledged sweeping reforms to transform the DSS into one of the world’s most efficient covert security agencies. Adekaiyaoja’s appointment is a significant move towards achieving this goal.
