The Nigerian Senate today confirmed the Service Chiefs whose appointments were transmitted to the Senate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for legislative action.
The confirmation followed the Committee’s screening which was presided over by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabío.
Earlier in the day after their arrival, the nominees were subjected to the Chamber’s protocol where they were asked to introduce themselves.
The Senators then went into closed doors after their introduction at about 11:00 am to deliberate security issues with the nominees.
After three hours of the meeting, the Senate reopened Chambers for debate at about 3.00 pm to have the confirmation done.
The Service Chiefs who were confirmed through voice votes are: Major General Christopher G Musa as Chief of Defence Staff, Major General T.A Lagbaja as Chief of Army Staff, Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla as Chief of Naval Staff and Air Vice Marshal H. B. Abubakar as Chief of Air Staff
