President Bola Tinubu has decorated the acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Olufemi Oluyede, as Lieutenant General.
The short ceremony took place in the president’s office complex at the State House, Abuja.
The President Communications Team said, “President Tinubu decorates acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, as Lt General.”
Tinubu had appointed Oluyede as the acting Chief of Army Staff last Wednesday, after his predecessor, Taoreed Lagbaja, remains indisposed for weeks due to medical leave abroad.
Before his appointment, the acting COAS was a Major General.
Present at the brief ceremony were the Chief of General Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa, and the other service chiefs in attendance.
