Click hereIn a sweeping and immediate military restructuring, President Bola Tinubu announced the replacement of several top military leaders across Nigeria's armed forces. The move is intended to strengthen the nation's response to ongoing security threats.
The presidency confirmed that all appointments take immediate effect.
General Olufemi Oluyede was named as the new Chief of Defence Staff, replacing General Christopher Musa.
Major-General W. Shaibu becomes the new Chief of Army Staff.
Air Vice Marshal S.K. Aneke is appointed Chief of Air Staff.
Rear Admiral I. Abbas takes over as Chief of Naval Staff.
Major-General E.A.P. Undiendeye retains his position as Chief of Defence Intelligence.
The reshuffle is part of Tinubu's ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria's national security architecture amid persistent threats across multiple regions — including Islamist insurgency in the northeast, rampant banditry in the northwest, and separatist tensions in the southeast.
In the official statement, the President expressed his gratitude to the outgoing chiefs for their service and urged the newly appointed leaders to justify the confidence reposed in them by enhancing professionalism, vigilance, and unity within the armed forces.
