President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday met with the new service chiefs, urging them to concentrate their efforts on helping his administration to deliver on its electoral pledge to make Nigeria a safer place for citizens to live.
A statement by the president’s media adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, quoted Buhari as congratulating the new appointees, and telling them that their job is well cut out for them given the insecurity wracking the nation.

Following the clamour from several quarters for President Muhammadu Buhari to let go of his service chiefs and appoint new service chiefs who will bring in fresh ideas and tactics on ways to tackle the growing insecurity in the country, The Street Journal can confidently confirm that come 2021, the service chiefs will be dropped without hesitation.
Shortly after he assumed office in 2015, Buhari wasted no time to sack the service chiefs who were appointed by former president Goodluck Jonathan and appointed new Service Chiefs and a National Security Adviser.
He appointed Major-General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin as the Chief of Defence Staff; Major-General T.Y. Buratai as the Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as the Chief of Naval Staff; and Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar as the Chief of Air Staff.
