The Senate has fixed Wednesday, December 3, 2025, for the screening of General Christopher Gwabin Musa (rtd) as the new Minister of Defence.
Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, made the disclosure in a statement by his Directorate on Media and Public Affairs Tuesday.
Musa’s nomination followed the resignation of the former Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru.
In a statement, Bamidele noted that the Senate “ is already in possession of the request of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu to screen his defence minister nominee.”
General Musa left office as CDS barely five weeks ago on October 30, in what was officially explained as a routine drill.
