Tinubu promotes acting Chief of Army Staff to Lieutenant General
President Bola Tinubu, yesterday, promoted the acting Chief of Army Staff, Major General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede, to the rank of Lieutenant General at a ceremony held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
At the ceremony in Tinubu’s office, the President commended the military for its unwavering courage, dedication, and patriotism in maintaining the nation’s security.
“It is both an honour and a privilege to decorate you today,” the President stated.
“This recognition reflects your commitment and service to the Nigerian military, which speaks volumes through your exemplary record.”
“We recognise all that you have been doing to ensure the country is safe and stable,’’ the President said. Tinubu assured the military that the government would always listen to their advice in the bid to keep Nigeria on the path of peace and prosperity.
He also attributed the success recorded in tackling terrorism and banditry to the “synergy’’ in the armed forces and urged the service chiefs to sustain harmony in their relationship for the betterment of the country.
Oluyede expressed gratitude just as he pledged his commitment to upholding the vision of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, and to maintaining peace across the country.
Lt. Gen. Oluyede (N/9318) was granted Regular Combatant Commission as second lieutenant as a member of the 39 Regular Course on September 19, 1992, with seniority in the same rank, effective September 12, 1987.
The acting chief of army staff participated in several operations, including the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) mission in Liberia, Operation Harmony IV in Bakassi, and Operation Hadin Kai in the North East.
