Tinubu Meets Newly Appointed Service Chiefs at Presidential Villa
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently holding a meeting with the newly appointed Service Chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
This comes just hours after the President announced sweeping changes in the military hierarchy on Friday, aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s national security architecture.
In the new appointments, General Olufemi Oluyede, formerly Chief of Army Staff, now takes over as Chief of Defence Staff from General Christopher Musa.
Major-General Waidi Shaibu has been named the new Chief of Army Staff, while Air Vice Marshal S.K. Aneke becomes the Chief of Air Staff.
Rear Admiral I. Abbas has also been appointed as Chief of Naval Staff, marking a strategic shake-up across the Armed Forces.
The ongoing meeting is expected to focus on security priorities and directives for the new military leadership as they assume duty with immediate effect.
