The Nigerian Army has conducted a strategic shake-up in military units across the country. No fewer than 14 officers were either appointed or redeployed in an exercise, approved on January 9, 2017, by the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai.
The move which affected six major generals, five brigadier generals, two captains and one major, comes a month after Mr. Buratai promoted 227 Army personnel, including a son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Adeboye, who was made a Colonel.
One of the redeployed officials is M.H. Garba, a Major General, who was moved from Army Headquarters’ Department of Military Secretary to the Army Corps of Artillery. Mr. Garba, whose redeployment takes effect from January 16, 2016, also received the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Award, the memo showed.
Other Generals on the redeployment list include:
- Major General K.I. Abdulkarim, transferred from Nigerian Army 6 Division Headquarters to the Defence Headquarters with effect from January 12, 2017.
- Major Generals O.U. Obono moved from Nigerian Army Corps of Artillery Headquarters to the Defence Headquarters from January 12, 2017
