The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has lauded President Bola Tinubu over the appointment of Mr. Tosin Ajayi as Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS).
MOSIEND, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by its President, Dr. Kennedy West, said Ajayi’s appointment acknowledges his competence and dedication to protecting the nation’s internal security.
West noted that the DSS boss, who hails from Ogun State and is also the most senior director in the system, has a track record of excellent performance and integrity. He always puts his heart and soul into everything he does.
He said Ajayi, who was in charge of Kogi State Command before he was appointed director-general, has all it takes to reposition the secret police for optimum service delivery.
The MOSIEND President stated that the association members were very optimistic about the new DSS boss’ appointment because he is a brave, diligent, and detribalised officer, an astute administrator, and a core operations officer.
West said: “These are the qualities that are most needed to reposition and improve service delivery in the force, and we are very confident that Tosin Ajayi will change the narratives and leave a positive mark.
“His presence in Rivers and Bayelsa States created a lot of peace and stability in the Niger Delta region – he is somebody we know, someone we have worked with, and we know his capacity when you talk about security and intelligence gathering.”
“He was responsible for the setting up of the Special Incident Response Unit (SIRU), which was meant to tackle kidnapping, armed robbery and cultism in Rivers State, and everyone can attest to it that it was a great success.”
“He was very active and created relationships with communities; that was how we came to know him, and we are very sure that Nigerians will enjoy his services.”
“We pray God will give him more wisdom, understanding, and strength to accomplish his goals because we know him as an accomplished officer dedicated to the welfare of officers.”
