The House of Representatives confirmed Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede as the substantive Chief of Army Staff on Thursday.
This decision came after Oluyede underwent a screening process on Wednesday by the Joint Committees on Defence and Army.
During Thursday’s plenary, the Chairman of the Defence and Army Committees, Babajimi Benson, presented the report and recommended Oluyede’s confirmation. The motion was approved by the House in a session presided over by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
Further details will be provided later.
