Senate Confirms New Service Chiefs

 


Nigerian Senate has confirmed President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for the positions of service chiefs.

Those confirmed on Wednesday include  Olufemi Oluyede as Chief of Defence Staff, Wahidi Shaibu as Chief of Army staff, Idi Abbas as Chief of Naval staff, and Kennedy Aneke as Chief of Air Staff.

The confirmation followed a two-hour closed-door session where senators questioned the nominees on their plans to strengthen national security and reform the armed forces.

President Tinubu had last week carried out major shake up among top service chiefs, removing the then Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa and replacing him with the former Chief of Army Staff General Olufemi Oluyede 
as part of strategic moves to rejig security architecture
