The award was presented at the end of an international conference with the theme “Threats to Security: A Global Perspective” held in at Marriot Hotel, Zurich, Switzerland.

The award was presented on 22nd December, 2022 and according to the Organisation’s President, Dr Nikolas Fokianos, the award is in recognition of his excellent leadership of the primary domestic intelligence Agency of Nigeria and the recorded successes against emerging internal threats in the country.

The DGSS was represented at the Forum by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, Dr Peter Afunanya, who appreciated the Organisers for considering the DGSS worthy of the honour.

Dr Afunanya stated that Bichi is deserving of the accolade more so that the DSS under him has accomplished many feats and will continue to ensure the effective discharge of its mandate without let or hindrance.
