Bridging the Security Divide: SSS Efforts to Fill Gaps in National Defence

The Director General of the State Security Services has received praise from President Bola Tinubu and knowledgeable stakeholders for the extraordinary actions he has made to address the nation’s numerous problems. The acknowledgment of a higher degree of corporation with sister security agencies is noteworthy. The Director General of State Services, Mr. Oluwatosin Ajayi, has received widespread praise from the Security Chiefs for providing them with the information needed to carry out their official responsibilities.

The heads of almost every paramilitary group and sister security agency in the nation, as well as the former Chief of Defense Staff, are among those who have continued to value the Director General’s high degree of cooperation. Numerous members of the various paramilitary groups have freely acknowledged that the DG and SSS’s support has played a significant role in their accomplishments. A few of them freely acknowledged that their performance had been impacted by DG and SSS collaboration.

The Director General’s efforts, regard for the Service, and motivation for the majority of SSS employees are also crucial. Recall that at the start of the DG, SSS’s tenure, the majority of active and retired staff members welcomed him and supported his attempts to pull the service out of the deterioration and issues it had fallen into.

It is satisfying to see that the Service has regained the respect and credibility it had before the DG assumed leadership of the organization in the last few months. In fact, because of his extraordinary accomplishments, even those who at first had some doubts about the DG’s and SSS’s abilities to manage the service’s affairs are now ardent supporters. Many people think that the Director General’s honesty and diligence are what have made him so popular with the staff.
The majority of employees are motivated to work hard because of these considerations.

Recall that the Director General’s predecessor left him with enormous challenges, which alarmed many at the time. Nowadays, the majority of employees, both active and retired, are pleased to report that he has conquered every obstacle.

As many have noted, his restoration endeavor is now bearing fruit. Today, the DG has shown leadership traits that are very identifiable. Today, he has transcended the narrow-mindedness and selfishness of some of his predecessors. It is crucial to remember that the DG is one individual who has failed to delegate his leadership duties to his subordinates. He hasn’t let certain people with questionable intentions sway him either.

The Director General is in favor of all forward-thinking and progressive people, as was previously mentioned. Along with them, he has begun to implement initiatives that will elevate the service above many others.

His resolve to use the service as a model for others goes beyond this. He is now a vital member of the intelligence community. We would like to mention that the Director General is completely devoted to the President. His allegiance is not divided.

We think that the President and the Government can rely on him. Given the current condition of affairs in the nation, he is unquestionably a very reliable asset. Some of us have already noted that the nation needs Security Chiefs who are reliable and able to always give the President the truth. It is crucial to remember that the President and the government could be sidetracked by a number of security issues at this moment.

The spread of the insurgents’ regrouping in the North East, the reunion of lawless bandits and herdsmen in the North West, the planned and coordinated armed attacks in the North Central, and the widening political divides in the majority of the nation are some of these security issues.

The entry of subversive elements across the country’s porous borders is equally concerning.

Saboteurs’ actions are another.

We think the Director General could contribute to the country’s and government’s continued security. He is an asset needed to keep the fledgling democracy in the nation stable. The majority of the intelligence community has pledged to put in a lot of effort to make sure he is successful.
