Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has celebrated the nomination of the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, as a designated minister under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
President Tinubu had earlier announced the nomination of Musa as a minister-designate, just a day after he held a meeting with him at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday, December 1.

General Musa reportedly arrived at the State House around 7 pm and was led to the office of the president immediately. The reason for the meeting was yet to be disclosed as of the time of writing this report.
One month after the sacking of Musa as the CDS, Nigeria has experienced a series of banditry attacks, women and children were kidnapped, and some innocent people were gunned down.
In Niger state, 300 pupils and 15 teachers were kidnapped at the St. Mary’s School in Agwara local government area. Students were kidnapped in Kebbi, and church worshippers were abducted in Kwara state.
However, General Musa's nomination came the day after the resignation of the former Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, from the administration of President Tinubu.
