Public affairs analyst Usman Okai Austin praises the Director-General of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi, describing him as the most professional security chief to have led the agency.

In statements cited by outlets, Okai credits Ajayi with running intelligence-led operations and introducing greater use of technology. He also points to improved cooperation with other agencies, presenting these changes as part of Ajayi’s impact since he took charge of the DSS.

The two reports focus on the same commentary and present similar assessments, with one outlet framing the praise as “most professional” in Nigeria’s history, while the other emphasizes specific themes—intelligence-led approach, technology, and inter-agency coordination. Neither outlet provides independent verification or new operational details beyond the analyst’s remarks.
