The Nigerian Armed
Forces has announced the promotion of Acting Director, Defence Media
Operations, Brig.-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko to the rank of Major-General.
234 other personnel in the military were also promoted.
The promotion came barely one week after rife insinuations
that the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, asked not less than 50
Generals in the military to proceed on forceful retirement.
The promotions were released last night after the sitting of the Army Council, Navy council and the Air Council respectively, held at the Ministry of Defence with the Minister of Defence, Maj.-Gen. Bashir Magashi (Rtd) as presiding chairman.
In the latest promotion, our correspondent gathered that the
Nigerian Army promoted 36 officers to the ranks of Major-Generals from
Brigadier-Generals, while 76 Colonels were promoted to Brigadier Generals.
The Nigerian Navy promoted 21 Commodores to Rear Admirals
and 36 Captains to Commodores, while the Nigerian Air Force promoted 30 new Air
Vice Marshals from Air Commodores and 36 Group Captains to Air Commodores.
Below are the names of the newly promoted officers:
