President Bola Tinubu has officially promoted the acting Chief of Army Staff, (Ag. COAS) Olufemi Oluyede, to the rank of Lieutenant General.
A statement from the President’s communications team confirmed the promotion, with a brief decoration ceremony which took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday.
Recall that Tinubu appointed Oluyede as the acting Chief of Army Staff last Wednesday following an extended period of absence by his predecessor, Taoreed Lagbaja, who has been indisposed for several weeks.
