“The successes recorded by the security forces and the assistance they have lent us are just too enormous, especially since President Tinubu appointed a very capable man to head the service,” offered a military officer who chose to remain anonymous.
“I guess most of the successes recorded are not being reported in the media because I guess the new DSS DG is sticking to his promise to revert to the covertness which was the hallmark of the DSS in its early years,” said the military officer, adding, “but I can tell you that the DSS has really been greatly assisting us in the military.”
As part of his security reforms, the President promised to support the DSS in using artificial intelligence to combat insecurity in Nigeria.
The President made the promise at the investiture ceremony of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS) Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 17 graduates, in Abuja.
