Chairperson and Convener of Asiwaju Renewed Hope (ARH’23), Kemi Olokode-Ayelabola has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing new intelligence chiefs to enhance the security architecture of Nigeria.
It is recalled that the President on Monday announced the appointments of Mohammed Mohamed as the Director-General for the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Adeola Ajayi as the new Director-General for the Department of State Services (DSS).
Kemi, a behavioural, developmental and child/young persons care professional, gave the commendation to the President in a press statement she made available to newsmen on Tuesday, August 27, 2024.
She expressed hope that the action of the president would position the security system to contain the raging kidnapping, terrorism, insurgency and bandidary which had ravaged the country.
She further commended the intelligence chiefs for working hard in the course of their careers to predispose themselves to be appointed to such high profile offices, advising them to see their new national assignments as a patriotic duty to write their names in gold and bring pride to their families if they perform as creditably as anticipated.
She charged them on the task ahead and urged them to be dedicated and committed to the ideals of the intelligence community, one of which is the promotion of intelligence gathering, monitoring and management as well as engendering modern diplomatic practices.
Her statement reads in parts, "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has again proved his mettle as a leader who is strong-willed to keep the security and intelligence architecture of the country in right track by appointing thoroughbred and patriotic Nigerians to be in charge of National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Department of State Services (DSS). This will truly mark the beginning of new expectations by Nigerians in efforts to tackle the country’s security challenges.
The action of the President would further position the security system to contain the raging kidnapping, terrorism, insurgency, and bandidary, which had ravaged the country. This latest development will also help to deepen career progression and boost officer's moral. It will also help to expand intelligence gathering, monitoring and management as well as citizen's engagement and accentuate modern diplomatic practices. It's a thing of joy for those of us in the diaspora that we now have a country that could be better secured internally and also outside the shores of Nigeria by committed individuals."
