President Bola Tinubu has sworn in General Christopher Musa (retd.) as the new Minister of Defence.
Musa, a former Chief of Defence Staff, took the oath of office on Thursday at the State House, Abuja.
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Musa as Minister of Defence following a rigorous five-hour screening. During the session, the former CDS was grilled over recent security lapses, including the controversial withdrawal of troops from Government Comprehensive Girls Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, shortly before schoolgirls were abducted on November 17.
