The recent appointment of new service chiefs raises the question of whether they will succeed where their predecessors failed, writes Wale Igbintade
Following their confirmation by the Senate, President Bola Tinubu last Thursday decorated the newly appointed Service Chiefs with their new ranks of four-star and three-star generals respectively, charging them to demonstrate urgency, courage, and innovation in addressing the nation’s security challenges and restoring lasting peace.
The new security helmsmen are: Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Kelvin Aneke.
