He then congratulated the DG on his recent appointment, describing it as a recognition of his professionalism, wealth of experience, and dedication to duty.

He further stated AANI’s commitment to national development and elaborated on the association’s rich pool of professionals across sectors, particularly in defence and security.

The AANI President also proposed partnerships with the DSS in areas such as capacity building, research-driven policy advisory, and strategic collaboration to support the Service in fulfilling its mandate.

Adding that “AANI remains a reservoir of expertise,” Ambassador Okafor also stated, “With a membership spanning diverse fields and a strong foundation in leadership and policy strategy, we are ready to partner with the DSS to achieve greater national security outcomes.”

In his response, the DG DSS, Mr Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi MON, expressed deep appreciation for the visit and commended AANI for its contributions to national development and leadership excellence.

He acknowledged the unique value of AANI members, many of whom have backgrounds in defence and intelligence, and described the association as a critical partner in the nation’s security architecture.

The DG further highlighted the need to integrate the findings and recommendations of research conducted at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, noting their relevance in addressing contemporary security challenges in the country, such as ungoverned spaces and social injustice.

“AANI’s research outputs are a treasure trove that can significantly enhance the fight against insecurity if fully utilised,” Mr Ajayi MON remarked.

He also pledged his commitment to fostering collaboration and leveraging AANI’s insights to strengthen the DSS’ strategies and operations.

The visit was attended by notable AANI members, including Mrs. Olufunke Amos mni, AANI Vice President; a former President of the association; Engineer (Dr) Mohammed Gambo Umar MON mni; Turakin Bauchi; Alhaji Abubakar Ismail Isah Funtua mni, AANI Secretary General; Alhaji Samaila Umar Sifawa mni, AANI National Treasurer; Brigadier General SK Usman (rtd) mni, National Publicity Secretary; and Dr. Babatunde Moses Kayode mni, Assistant Secretary-General; Dr Gado Shehu mni, FCT AANI Chapter Secretary General; and Alahji Muhammad Nasir Ladan mni, the Director of Administration at AANI National Secretariat, Abuja.
