In Nigeria, the Senate is set to screen the newly appointed service chiefs today, October 29, following President Bola Tinubu’s request for their confirmation.
The screening comes amid widespread public debate over the abrupt shake-up in the military hierarchy. Critics have linked the sudden changes to an alleged coup attempt, though authorities have dismissed such claims.
Lawmakers are expected to question the nominees on national security, defense reforms, and the country’s ongoing counterinsurgency operations.
