Army redeploys 56 major-generals, 11 brigadier-generals in major shake-up
The Nigerian Army has redeployed 60 major generals and 11 brigadier-generals in a major shake-up across formations and units.
In a memo dated October 30, signed by EL Okoro, the military secretary (army), and seen by newsmen the affected senior officers are expected to resume their new primary assignments on November 3, 2025.
Only four of the senior officers, who are major-generals, were asked to remain in their current posts, but with new appointments. The four officers are PAO. Okoye, Y. Yahaya, I. Otu, and S. Nuhu.
“It is the responsibility of all formations/unit commanders whose officers are affected by this posting to implement accordingly,” the memo reads.
“Officers must take over on the effective dates indicated herein, while the receiving formation/unit must furnish ADQ Dept of MS with the date the officer was taken on strength.
“Formations/unit commanders are to take immediate administrative action on any officer who fails to report on the effective date of posting and inform this department accordingly. Commanders who fail to release posted officers to report on the date stipulated will be appropriately sanctioned.
“Commanders will also be held responsible for lapses in the implementation of the directive contained herein.”
