House of Senate Confirms Appointment Of Service Chiefs
« on: January 30, 2014, 10:16:50 PM »
The Senate has confirmed the appointment of the service chiefs nominated by President Goodluck Jonathan.

The service chiefs confirmed by the senate include: Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh; Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin and Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola Amosu.

Despite the directive from the All Progressives Congress (APC), the opposition did not raise any objection during the consideration of the report on the screening of the service chiefs.

The Chairman of the Senate Joint Committee on Defence, Sen. George Sekibo, presented the report of the screening and recommended that the nominees be approved because they found them to be competent to do the job.

The Senate cleared the military chiefs without a dissenting voice. - Channels
