Ceremonial. The main power rests with the chief of army staff.

If it was Ceremonial Abacha wouldn't have Occupied it.. It gave him Complete Control of the Military

In joint operations between the Military arms Chief of Defence forces is in Comtrol

The problem in Nigeria is that sometimes tribal Politics is used to Cut out the Chief of Defence Staff but if things operate properly he is more Powerful

Leave that ignorant guy.

Who did he think they Defense headquarters (DHQ)?

Its the CDS, Minister of state and Minister of defense

Not yeye COAS

Kzinne:
Abacha was once Chief of Defense staff before he became Head of state shortly after

Abacha was (also) Chief of Army Staff. That's what made him powerful.

If Chief of Defence Staff was that powerful on its own, then they'll never give it to Airforce or Naval Chiefs (Ebitu Ukiwe, Aikhomu, Mike Aigbe, Paul Dike, Alex Badeh, etc).
