President Bola Tinubu has made changes in the hierarchy of the Service Chiefs.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, made this known in a statement on Friday, October 24.
Dare said the development was “in furtherance of the efforts of the Federal Government of Nigeria to strengthen the national security architecture.”
The statement was titled ‘Tinubu changes service chiefs.’
According to Dare, the President appointed General Olufemi Oluyede to replace General Christopher Musa as the new Chief of Defence Staff.
The new Chief of Army Staff is Major-General W. Shaibu; Air Vice Marshall S.K Aneke is Chief of Air Staff, while Rear Admiral I. Abbas is the new Chief of Naval Staff.
The Chief of Defence Intelligence, Major-General E.A.P Undiendeye, retains his position.
”The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, expresses most profound appreciation to the outgoing Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa and the other Service Chiefs for their patriotic service and dedicated leadership,” the statement further read.
Tinubu charged the newly-appointed Service Chiefs to justify the confidence reposed in them by further enhancing the professionalism, vigilance and comradeship that define Nigeria’s Armed Forces.
