Africa-Press – Nigeria. A former Director of Peacekeeping Operations with the Nigerian Army and Commander of Operation Safe Haven, Major General Anthony Atolagbe (retd), has said that the recent reshuffle of service chiefs by President Bola Tinubu will generate excitement within the military.
General Atolagbe made the remark on Friday while responding to questions during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored
He was reacting to the changes made by President Tinubu in the hierarchy of the Armed Forces as part of the Federal Government’s efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s national security architecture.
Reacting to the development, General Atolagbe said, “I think there will be some excitement in the Armed Forces because of this new redeployment.
“It is going to make the military align properly with its procedures, or the necessary steps that need to be taken in the career progression of officers.
“The reason is very simple. This is in line with the condition of service that service chiefs should spend two years and at the discretion of the president perhaps he can give some additional time.”
