Acting Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Christopher Musa, and other Service Chiefs have reiterated their plans to safeguard Nigeria against internal and external aggressors.
They restated the assurance when they appeared before the House of Representatives in continuation of their screening as substantive Service Chiefs.
Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Air Staff, Hassan Abubakar, Chief of Naval Staff, Emmanuel Ogalla, and Chief of Defence Intelligence, Emmanuel Undiandeye were at the Senate last week where members questioned them on their suitability for the positions.
President Bola Tinubu announced their nominations last month.
While speaking, the acting Chief of Army Staff, Lagbaja, told the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee that if confirmed, his leadership of the military would be hinged on people, troops’ welfare, and interagency collaboration, adding that he would run a proactive, adaptive and inclusive leadership if confirmed.
Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee, Babajimi Benson, noted that, for more than 16 years, Nigeria has witnessed diverse and unprecedented levels of insecurity.
He said that securing the lives and property of Nigerians was a collective task for all arms of government.
