President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed new service chiefs following the resignation of the service chiefs.
Those involved are the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin, Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
He appointed the new hands to take over the batons of piloting the security affairs of the country.
Special Adviser On Media and Publicity to President, Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement on Tuesday.
“He congratulates outgoing Service Chiefs on efforts to bring enduring peace to the country.”
The move by the President comes after several demands by Nigerians that the President replace the service chiefs and rejig Nigeria’s military apparatus to effectively combat the vagaries of security challenges confronting the nation in recent times.
