President Buhari in closed door meeting with service chiefs

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently hosting Nigeria’s Service chiefs in a closed door meeting at his residence in Abuja.

Those present at the meeting include the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar; and the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibot-Ete Ibas.

There are rumours that the president wants to be briefed by the security chiefs on security measures put in place and will be engaged in ensuring that the country remains free from threats to lives and property particularly updates on the war against Boko Haram insurgents in the North eastern part of the country.

Recall that President Buhari returned to Nigeria on Saturday, 19th of August, 2017 after spending 104 days in London on a medical vacation and then addressed the nation in a national broadcast on Monday where he vowed that the threat from Boko Haram in particular would be dealt a final blow.
