In a recent development, the Department of State Service (DSS) has appointed Rasheed Atanda Lawal as the new Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Bola Tinubu, replacing Adegboyega Fasasi. Lawal, a Deputy Director, takes over the sensitive position, although the reasons behind Fasasi’s removal remain unclear.
According to insiders, changes like this are not unusual, especially when a new Director-General is appointed at the DSS. The new DG typically prefers to install trusted personnel in key positions, particularly in sensitive areas like the President’s security.
This development comes as President Tinubu’s administration continues to take shape. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
