The House of Representatives has commenced legislative consideration of three key bills aimed at strengthening the operational capacity of the Department of State Services (DSS), with lawmakers emphasizing the need for sustainable funding, enhanced intelligence training, and indigenous research to address Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.
The bills were the focus of a public hearing organized by the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence on Thursday at the National Assembly, Abuja.
Speaking at the hearing, Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Ahmed Satomi, said the proposed legislations seek to bolster funding, professional capacity, and technological innovation within Nigeria’s premier domestic intelligence agency.
