Acting president osinbajo appoints matthew seiyefa as acting dss dg
That's correct! On August 7, 2018, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo appointed Matthew Seiyefa as the Acting Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS). This appointment was made following the sudden retirement of Lawal Daura, the former DG of the DSS, who was removed from office by the Acting President.
Matthew Seiyefa, a career intelligence officer, was the most senior officer in the DSS at the time of his appointment and was expected to hold the position until a new DG was appointed. He was a Deputy Director in the DSS and had served in various capacities within the agency.
Seiyefa's appointment was seen as a temporary measure to ensure the stability and continuity of the DSS, and he was expected to oversee the agency's operations until a new DG was appointed. However, his tenure was short-lived, as he was replaced by Yusuf Magaji Bichi, a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, who was appointed as the new DG of the DSS on November 16, 2018.
