Tinubu wants Senate to confirm Musa, others as Service Chiefs

The upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly, the Senate, was on Tuesday urged to confirm the nominees for appointment as Service Chiefs.

The request emanated from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through a letter he addressed to the red chamber.

Tinubu’s letter of request was read at plenary by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on the floor during plenary.

The Service Chiefs for screening and confirmation by the Senate include Major General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff; Major General Taoreed Lagbaja as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla as Chief of Naval Staff and Air Vice Marshall Hassan Abubakar as Chief of Air Staff.

According to Akpabio, since the relevant Standing Committees of the Senate are not in place yet, the Service Chiefs would be screened by the Committee of the Whole of the Senate.
