Buhari meets with new Service Chiefs, charges them to go restore lost glory of Nigeria military

President Buhari met with the newly appointed Service Chiefs at the State House earlier today. While addressing the new Service Chiefs, President Buhari charged the men to work towards restoring the lost glory of the Nigerian military. According to him, they were all appointed on merit.

“All of you, including the National Security Adviser, were chosen on merit. Your records gave you the job. Save for the new Chief of Army Staff whom I briefly met at his Command at the Multi-National Joint Task Force, in Chad, I don’t know any of you. Your records recommended you. Legally, you are in acting capacity until the National Assembly accepts you. It is only then that you will take the oath of office. Thereafter, we will sit down and talk in more detail,” he them.
