DSS creates social media accounts ‘to enhance public engagement’

The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has created social media accounts to enhance public and stakeholder engagement in its operations.

In a statement on Monday, Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesperson, said the handles are @OfficialDSSNG (Twitter); OfficialDSSNG (Facebook); and @OfficialDSSNG (Instagram).

Afunanya said his own Twitter account is @DrAfunanya_PNA.

“Hitherto, the Service did not own or operate these handles. Its decision to operate them with effect from March 6, is to enhance public and stakeholder engagements,” he said.

“The public should be guided and NOTE that any such handles before now were/are FAKE.”
