The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has honoured the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi, with its “Man of the Year” award for strengthening collaboration between security agencies and the media.
The award was presented following the NUJ’s 2-day National Security Summit held in Abuja with the theme, “Media and Security Agencies as Partners in Nation Building.”
The summit, which ran from June 18 to 19, attracted media executives, journalists, security chiefs, policymakers, academics, civil society organisations and development partners.
NUJ said the honour was “an affirmation that partnership, openness and mutual respect between the media and security institutions are vital to protecting lives, preserving democratic space and advancing nation-building.”
