President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday decorated the acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Olufemi Oluyede, with the rank of Lieutenant General in a brief ceremony at the State House in Abuja.
Oluyede, who was appointed last Wednesday following the health-related absence of his predecessor, Taoreed Lagbaja, was promoted from the rank of Major General. The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and other service chiefs were present to witness the event.
The President’s Communications Team announced, “President Tinubu decorates acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, as Lt General.”
