Gen. Christopher Musa CONFIRMED as Nigeria’s Defence Minister | Can He Fix Our Security Crisis?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the Senate after it swiftly confirmed former Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa as Nigeria’s new Minister of Defence — a move fast-tracked within days of his nomination.

In this video we unpack everything you need to know:
• The rapid timeline — nomination, a closed-door screening, and confirmation within roughly 48 hours.

• What happened during Musa’s grilling — senators pressed him hard about recent security lapses, including the withdrawal of troops from a Kebbi school shortly before the abduction of schoolgirls.


• Musa’s response and promises — immediate full-scale investigations into troop withdrawals and attacks on senior officers, plus the reforms he says he will prioritize.


• Why this matters — the appointment comes at a time of rising kidnappings, banditry and attacks on security formations across the country, and many Nigerians want to see results, not reshuffles.
