Nigerian Army Redeploys 71 Generals in Major Shake-Up

In a significant development, the Nigerian Army has redeployed a total of 71 generals, comprising 60 major generals and 11 brigadier generals, as part of a major shake-up under the new Chief of Army Staff. The redeployment, effective from November 3, 2025, involves senior officers being reassigned to various formations within the Nigerian Army.

Notably, four senior officers, including P.A.O. Okoy, Y. Yahaya, and S. Nuhu, have been asked to remain in their current positions despite the changes.

The move aims to bring about strategic realignment within the Nigerian Army leadership structure.
