The Senate has confirmed Faruk Yahaya as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff.

The confirmation was sequel to the adoption of a
report presented by Aliyu Wamakko, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Defence.

In his presentation, Mr Wamakko said Mr Yahaya
met all the requirements expected of him and that
there was no petition against his nomination.

He also said the nominee was cleared by the State
Security Services (SSS).

“He was questioned on ethics, Nigeria’s war on
terror and banditry. The committee was satisfied
with the robust interaction with the nominee.

“The nomination is in line with section 217 of the
constitution. The committee did not receive any
petition and he was cleared by the State Security
Services.

“The nominee presented his credentials. The
committee is satisfied with his general performance.
The committee recommends that general Faruk
Yahaya be confirmed as the chief of staff,” he said.

In his contribution, Ali Ndume, the Chairman of the
Committee on Army, asked the Senate to speedily
confirm Mr Yahaya so he could carry out his
functions without any hindrance.

“I want the Senate to expeditiously confirm him so
he can be decorated to do some of the things he is
not able to do because he is in acting capacity,” he
said.

Mr Yahaya was thereafter confirmed as the army
chief after his nomination was put to a voice vote.

Mr Yahaya, a major general, was appointed on May
27 to replace Ibrahim Attahiru who died in an air
crash alongside 10 other officials of the army, on
May 21 while on an official trip to Kaduna State.

Until his appointment, the new army chief was the
Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, the
counter-insurgency operation in the North-east.
