The sack of Lawal Daura, former Director General, Department of State Services (DSS) by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday elicited wild jubilation across DSS formations nationwide.

From Port Harcourt, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Lagos and Kano, the story is the same.
Many operatives who spoke on condition of anonymity after the DG’s sack say the tenure of the former DG had been most harrowing for staff and operatives.

Those who spoke to journalists on phone claimed that allowances were not paid while many have stagnated in one position since Daura took over the reins of leadership of the Service.

In Abuja where the former DG had operated as a demi god, the jubilation was suffusing. A senior officer confirmed this on strict anonymity.

He said the exit of the former DG was a big relief for staff and the agency.
