Reps confirm appointment of Service Chiefs

The House of Representatives has confirmed the appointment of the newly appointed Service Chiefs made by Nigerian President M Buhari. 

The Chairman, Babajimi Benson of Committee on Defence this presented during plenary today February 23.

According to the committee chairman, the nominees were carefully screened and certified fit for their positions. 

The service chiefs are also being screened by the Senate Committee on Defense. The process had commenced last Wednesday when the new appointees were called upon to share their portfolios as well as their vision if they are confirmed to take on the new roles. 

Their confirmation by the House of Reps today comes shortly after the Senate nominated the immediate past service chiefs as non-career ambassadors, despite criticisms in some quarters.
