The leadership of National Union of Nigerian Students (NUNS) has congratulated Yusuf Magaji Bichi for his appointment as the new Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS); urging him to prioritize the release and re-union of Leah Sharibu with her family.
NUN which is the splinter group of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) appealed to Bichi to ensure that Leah, the only Dapchi school girl still held by the Boko Haram insurgents is released and reunited with her family.
The president of the union, Comrade Salahudeen A. Lukman also urged the DSS boss to ensure restructuring of the service for more professionalism in the course of providing security for Nigerians.
He hailed President Muhammad Buhari for the appointment, describing Bichi’s appointment as a round peg in a round hole considering his antecedent in the service, his intimidating wealth of experience cum integrity and professional disposition in time past.
While congratulating Bichi on his well deserved appointment as DG of the DSS, he called on all and sundry to support him. “Nigerians must do away with sentiment and tribalism in the course of security appointment, competency should rather be our concern and not the origination of the appointee,” he said.
The union also congratulated the newly elected President of Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Amaju Pinick, describing his re-election as a reward for excellent performance in the first tenure.
He called on the NFF to deepen football talent hunt in the various tertiary institutions, saying, this will ensure the discovery of more talented players who can make Nigeria more proud.
