Tinubu Shakes Up Military, Appoints New Service Chiefs

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday dismissed the nation’s top military officers, appointing a new Chief of Defence Staff and three other Service Chiefs in a major shake-up of the Armed Forces.

Speaking on the development, the President’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, said the changes were aimed at reinforcing Nigeria’s national security architecture.

Onanuga stated, “President Bola Tinubu has made changes in the hierarchy of the Service Chiefs in furtherance of the efforts of the Federal Government of Nigeria to strengthen national security and ensure operational effectiveness across all arms of the military.”

The appointments mark a significant restructuring of the military command, signaling the administration’s commitment to enhancing the country’s security framework amid growing security challenges.
