The appointments of new service chiefs by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have been approved by the Nigerian Senate on Thursday.
This was following the conclusion of a closed-door screening process.
First to be confirmed was the appointment of Major General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff after a three-hour screening session.
The Service Chiefs confirmed by the Senate include Major General Taoreed Lagbaja as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla as Chief of Naval Staff and Air Vice Marshall Hassan Abubakar as Chief of Air Staff.
Recall, Theliberationnews reported that Tinubu on Tuesday wrote to the Senate to screen and confirm the CDS and Service Chiefs nominees for substantive appointments.
