The Senate will today (Wednesday) screen and possibly confirm the newly appointed service chiefs nominated by President Bola Tinubu, as part of ongoing efforts to revamp the nation’s security architecture
Tinubu, in a letter read during Tuesday’s plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, urged lawmakers to give “expeditious consideration” to the nominees.
The President named Gen. Olufemi Oluyede as the Chief of Defence Staff; Maj. Gen. Waidi Shaibu as the Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Idi Abbas as the Chief of Naval Staff; Air Vice Marshal Kennedy Aneke as the Chief of Air Staff; and Maj. Gen. Emmanuel Undiendeye as the Chief of Defence Intelligence.
Akpabio referred the President’s request to the Committee of the Whole for screening and confirmation, scheduled to hold today.
The development comes barely 48 hours after Tinubu held a closed-door meeting with the new service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja — his first formal engagement with the military hierarchy since last Friday’s sweeping reshuffle.
