The Nigerian Army Council has approved the promotion of 105 senior officers, including 28 Brigadier-Generals elevated to Major-General and 77 Colonels promoted to Brigadier-General, in what the military described as a strategic push to strengthen its leadership ranks.
The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Lt. Col. Appolonia Anele, announced the promotions on Friday, describing them as part of ongoing efforts to reposition the Army for “greater operational efficiency and enhanced national defence capabilities.”
