New Chief Security Officer for Tinubu: Meet Rasheed Atanda Lawal
The Department of State Services (DSS) has replaced Adegboyega Fasasi as the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Bola Tinubu.
The new CSO is Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a Deputy Director within the DSS. Fasasi’s reassignment is said to be part of a regular organizational shift following the appointment of Tosin Ajayi as the new DSS Director-General.
Official reports suggest that Fasasi has been sent for a professional training course, which is a standard practice when there are changes in key security positions.
This shift is typical when a new DSS Director-General takes office, as they often prefer to position trusted personnel in critical roles close to the presidency.
