A former State Security Service director, Mike Ejiofor, has been re-elected as president of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Security Studies.

The association announced this in a statement on Tuesday.

Mr Ejiofor, alongside other members, was elected and returned to office during the association’s 2026 annual general meeting held in Abuja.

The meeting was preceded by the association’s second annual lecture titled ”Credible Elections and National Security in Nigeria”.

The lecture featured Mike Igini as guest speaker, with contributions from Okey Ikechukwu, Oluwafunmilayo Para-Mallam, Jibrin Ibrahim and Samson Itodo.

Participants at the lecture emphasised that credible, free and fair elections remain critical to strengthening national security, especially ahead of the 2027 general elections.

They also called for actionable strategies and sustained collaboration among stakeholders to ensure electoral integrity and stability in the country.

Mr Ejiofor pledged to advance the association’s objectives and strengthen its contributions to the national security discourse.

Mr Ejiofor also reaffirmed AANISS’ commitment to promoting policy dialogue and professional engagement on security-related issues in Nigeria.

”I am grateful for the trust placed in me by members of this association, and I remain committed to serving with renewed dedication and efficiency,” he said.
