President Bola Tinubu on Monday was locked in a closed door meeting with the Service Chiefs at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The security chiefs who arrived at the presidential villa for the meeting around 6pm were ushered into the President’s office.
The meeting happened to be Tinubu’s first meeting with the military high command since he swore in General Christopher Musa (retd.) as the new Minister of Defence on December 4.
Although the agenda of Monday’s meeting is not yet public, the engagement is coming as 115 students kidnapped from a Catholic boarding school in November remain in captivity.
On November 26, Tinubu declared a national security emergency and ordered fresh recruitment into security agencies.
He also ordered the withdrawal of all police personnel from VIPs
The meeting also comes days after Nigeria’s Senate approved Tinubu’s request to deploy troops to the Benin Republic following an attempted coup in the neighbouring country.
