By Aishat Momoh. O.
Service Chiefs have started arriving at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, for their swearing-in and declaration by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday.
Recall that on 6th of July, 2023, President Bola Tinubu had asked the National Assembly to confirm the appointment of the service chiefs.
Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, read the president’s request during the plenary session.
Also Recall that on June 19, 2023, Tinubu appointed the new service chiefs after he retired those that served in the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The service chiefs appointed by Tinubu are Christopher Musa, chief of Defence Staff; Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Army Staff; Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff; and Hassan Abubakar, Chief of Air Staff.
