“As the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, I facilitated this crucial interface to ensure a smooth and coordinated engagement between the Executive and the Legislature, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to effective governance and national security,” Senator Lado stated.

He further emphasised that the appointments of Lt Gen Olufemi Oluyede (Chief of Defence Staff), Maj Gen Waidi Shaibu (Chief of Army Staff), AVM Sunday K Aneke (Chief of Air Staff), and Rear Admiral Idi Abbas (Chief of Naval Staff) represent a strategic move to reinforce Nigeria’s security framework and enhance synergy among the Armed Forces.
