BEVERLY HILLS, March 05, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has decorated the four new service chiefs at an event held in the Council Chamber at the State House in Abuja.

Also, the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo was decorated as Vice Admiral, while the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Ishiaka Oladayo Amao climbed to the rank of Air Marshal.

He reminded them to be conscious of the fact that Nigerians expected a lot from them to address the security problems confronting the country.
