President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially decorated the newly appointed Service Chiefs.
The momentous occasion formally marks the beginning of their term as the nation’s top defence officers.
The event, which took place within the Presidential Villa’s Council Chambers, was attended by the vice president, Senator Kassim Shetimma, prominent government officials, and officers’ families.
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.
President Tinubu, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, presented the new Service Chiefs with their higher office insignia, signifying the weight of the responsibilities they now bear.
Each Chief, resplendent in their uniforms adorned with their high office’s symbols, pledged their dedication to ensuring the peace, unity, and security of the Nigerian state.
