President Bola Tinubu appoints Yusuf Bichi, the immediate past Director-General of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS), as Chairman of the Governing Board of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS). Multiple outlets report the appointment in connection with NISS in Abuja.
Some coverage focuses on Bichi’s former DSS role and the fact of his appointment by Tinubu, while others add more detail on the nomination process. Daily Post Nigeria says Bichi’s appointment follows a recommendation from the current DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, and also specifies the NISS location as Lower Usuma Dam in Abuja. Overall, the outlets agree on the main personnel change and Tinubu as the appointing authority.
Vanguard and The Punch present the appointment as a straightforward executive decision naming Bichi chair of NISS’s governing board. Vanguard repeats similar wording across multiple items, indicating consistent framing around Tinubu’s appointment announcement.
