The Senate has commenced the screening of Christopher Musa, the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, General, as the new Minister of Defence.
Musa’s nomination follows the resignation of Mohammed Badaru, the former Minister of Defence, who stepped down citing health-related reasons.
Consequently, President Bola Tinubu announced Musa as a replacement and sent his name to the Senate for screening and confirmation.
