President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday promoted the acting Chief of Army Staff, Olufemi Oluyede to Lieutenant General; in anticipation of his elevation to substantive Chief of Army Staff.
The PUNCH reports that the short ceremony of Oluyede’s decoration with a new rank took place in the President’s office complex at the State House, Abuja.
“President Tinubu decorates acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, as Lt. General,” a snippet from the president’s communications team read Tuesday.
Tinubu had appointed Oluyede as the acting Chief of Army Staff last Wednesday, even as his predecessor, Taoreed Lagbaja, remains indisposed for weeks.
