DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICE (DSS) AND STATE
SECURITY SERVICE (SSS).

Government agencies are created by law, named by law and must
operate by such law and name. The law creating “State Security
Service” is known as the National Security Agencies Act, 1986.
Clearly by National Security Agencies Act 1986, “State Security
Services” is created to detect and prevent crimes within Nigeria
that may threaten national security of Nigeria. The name “State
Security Services” and the National Security Agencies Act 1986, has
not be amended or altered since 1986 to date. Hence, the statutory,
legal and known name of State Security Services remains “State
Security Services”.

One can have nicknames and pet names, however, there is always a
known real name. “Department of Security Services” not being known
to the law that created “State Security Services” or any other law,
can only be said to be a mere pet name/nickname when used by the
“State Security Services”.

My authorities are sections 1, 2(3) and 8 of National Security
Agencies Act 1986.
