The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday officially confirmed the nominees presented by President Bola Tinubu for the positions of service chiefs.
Those confirmed are Olufemi Oluyede as Chief of Defence Staff, Wahidi Shaibu as Chief of Army staff, Idi Abbas as Chief of Naval staff, and Kennedy Aneke as Chief of Air Staff.
The confirmation followed a two-hour closed-door session where senators questioned the nominees on their plans to strengthen national security and reform the armed forces.
The confirmed service chiefs now await their official swearing-in by President Tinubu.
