President Bola Tinubu has reshuffled the hierarchy of the Service Chiefs as part of the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to enhance and strengthen Nigeria’s national security architecture.
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. 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 President urged the newly appointed Service Chiefs to justify the trust placed in them by upholding and advancing the professionalism, vigilance, and unity that characterize the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
