The appointment of the service chiefs recently chosen by President Bola Tinubu has been confirmed by the House of Representatives.
Their confirmation came after the House ad hoc committee that screened them approved its report.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Musa (Chief of Defence Staff), Maj. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja (Chief of Army Staff), Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla (Chief of Naval Staff), and AVM Hassan Abubakar (Chief of Air Staff) have all been confirmed.
The green chamber began screening the service chiefs on Monday, only days after the red chamber ratified the appointment of the military leaders.
The screening committee was chaired by House Majority Leader Julius Ihonvbere.
The Chairman of the Adhoc Committee of the House, Babajimi Benson, had said members of the Armed Forces must adhere strictly to the provisions of the Appropriation Act and urged them to work in synergy by sharing intelligence.
He had further said that the performances of the service chiefs would be reviewed by the National Assembly if they are confirmed.
The President had appointed the new service chiefs on June 19, 2023, exactly three weeks after his inauguration.
