President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Yusuf Bichi, the immediate past Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, as chairman of the Governing Board of the National Institute for Security Studies, NISS, Lower Usuma Dam, Abuja.
Bichi’s appointment followed a recommendation by the current DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi.
This was disclosed in a statement by Lilian Omo-Odigwe, Director, Coordination and Liaison.
His appointment is for an initial four-year term, effective October 22, 2026, in accordance with Section 4 of the National Institute for Security Studies (Establishment) Act, 2019.
