State Security Service Boss, Ita Ekpeyong Resigns, Buhari Appoints New DG by zinzane: 4:14pm On Jul 02, 2015 |
Ita Ekpeyong, director-general of the states security service (SSS), has resigned. A source who spoke with TheCable said Ekpeyong submitted his resignation letter around 10am, and one M. M. Daura from Katsina state is being tipped to succeed him. Former president Goodluck Jonathan appointed him in 2010 after dismissing Afakriya Gadzama. The government of President Muhammadu Buhari is reported to be unimpressed by the organisation’s conduct in the buildup to the March 28 presidential election. But the presidency has denied the allegation. PRESIDENT BUHARI APPOINTS NEW DIRECTOR GENERAL – DEPARTMENT OF STATE SECURITY SERVICE President Muhamadu Buhari has appointed Lawal Musa Daura as the new Director General Department of State Security Service. The appointment was conveyed today in a letter by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Barrister Danladi Kifasi. Lawal Musa Daura was born in Daura on the 5th of August, 1953. He attended Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria from 1977 – 1980. He started his carrier in the State Security Service in 1982 and rose to the rank of Director. He was at one time the Deputy Director Presidential Communication, Command and Control Centre at the Presidential Villa Abuja between 2003 and 2007. He also served as the State Director of Security Service at various times in Kano, Sokoto, Edo, Lagos, Osun and Imo States. He attended various professional courses both home and abroad including the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, (NIPSS) Kuru. The appointment is with immediate effect.

It’s the President's call who he wants to appoint but honestly, he could have appointed a serving officer (not retiree) even if from his home State like he has now done. The new DG is from Duara, Katsina State like the President and retired from the SSS or was retired, not sure which. It’s like appointing a retired General as COAS or a retired Police Officer as IG. For a while now, insiders have been appointed as DGSS and I think it helps for staff motivation, cohesion and professional development. I recall that even FRSC (Road Safety) guys "quietly made some noise" and an insider was appointed when Chidoka left. 1 Like |

Normally, we shouldn't be bothered where the next DSS DG comes from but knowing that our president is tribalistic based on his antecedents, it makes me fear for this country. But I believe that before the end of this year, if PMB has good intentions we will know. But for now, it's too early to conclude. 1 Like |
