President Bola Tinubu has appointed Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed as the new Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency as well as Adeola Ajayi as the new Director-General of the Department of State Service.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, announced these appointments in a statement released on Monday in Abuja.
Ambassador Mohammed has worked as foreign service officer with a career spanning over two decades. He has served in various roles in countries such as North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan, and Libya, according to Ngelale’s statement.
In the same vein, Ajayi, the new chief of the DSS, rose through the ranks and has served as State Director in several states, including Bauchi, Enugu, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Kogi.
These appointments follow the resignation of the previous heads of the two agencies, Ahmed Abubakar and Yusuf Bichi.
The statement added, “President Tinubu has charged the new security chiefs to work together to reposition the agencies for better results, tackle security challenges, and enhance collaboration with sister agencies and the Office of the National Security Adviser.
“The President has also thanked the outgoing Directors-General for their service to the nation and wished them success in their future endeavours.”
