In a momentous event held inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially decorated the newly appointed Service Chiefs.
This significant ceremony formally marks the beginning of their tenure as the nation’s topmost defense officers, charged with the critical responsibility of safeguarding Nigeria’s sovereignty and ensuring its security.
The ceremony was attended by notable dignitaries, including Vice President Senator Kassim Shetimma, top government officials, and family members of the appointed officers.
President Tinubu, in his capacity as the Commander-in-Chief, presented each Chief with their higher office insignia, symbolizing the immense weight of the responsibilities they now carry.
The Service Chiefs, whose appointments were initially declared on the 19th of June, have undergone comprehensive screening by the National Assembly.
Having successfully completed this legislative scrutiny, they now take up their roles as the chief architects of Nigeria’s defence and security strategies.
