In order to increase public participation, the Department of State Services, or DSS, announced the creation of social media handles on Monday.
Peter Afunanya, PhD, the organization’s public relations officer, revealed this in a statement sent to Vanguard and stated: “The Department of State Services (DSS) therefore tells the public that it has formed Social Media handles which are as follows:
Twitter is @OfficialDSSNG
Facebook is OfficialDSSNG
Instagram is @OfficialDSSNG
“Similarly, the PRO’s Twitter handle is @DrAfunanya_PNA. Hitherto, the Service did not own or operate these handles.
“Its decision to operate them with effect from 6th March, 2023 is to enhance public and stakeholder engagements. The public should be guided and NOTE that any such handles before now were/are FAKE, please.”
