Nigeria's second-in-command flew into Lagos to show up at the army's yearly get-together, and the state's top guy, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, met Kashim Shettima at the airport before military brass took over hosting duties. Defense Minister Christopher Musa and other service chiefs rolled through, catching up with old army buddies at the event.
Shettima is filling in for President Bola Tinubu as the main guest, and he did the whole honor guard inspection thing when he got there. The conference is basically about figuring out how to handle terrorism by mixing military moves with diplomatic tactics for keeping things stable long-term.
They're also dropping a book called A Life of Service about Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, who was the 23rd army chief.
