He explained that President Tinubu underscored the importance of Atang’s leadership during a critical phase of organisational transformation.

The letter reads, “I am directed to refer to the above subject matter and to inform you that His Excellency, the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has graciously approved the extension of your service for six months with effect from Wednesday, 27th March 2024, when you would have attained the mandatory age of 60 years.
