Nigeria new minister of defence

As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the Minister of Defence of Nigeria is Major General Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd). He was appointed to the position on August 21, 2020, by President Muhammadu Buhari.

However, please note that government positions and appointments can change frequently, and it's possible that there may have been a change since my knowledge cutoff. If you're looking for the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking reputable news sources or the official website of the Nigerian government for the latest information on the Minister of Defence.
