In a brief but significant ceremony held at the Presidential office complex in Abuja on Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu officially decorated the acting Chief of Army Staff, Olufemi Oluyede, with the rank of Lieutenant General.

The low-key event, witnessed by top government officials and military personnel, underscored the President’s confidence in Oluyede’s leadership and capabilities in steering the Nigerian Army during this transitional period. The newly-decorated Lt. General Oluyede has been serving as the acting Chief of Army Staff since his appointment last Wednesday by President Tinubu.

This move follows the extended absence of his predecessor, General Taoreed Lagbaja, who has been indisposed for several weeks. While the specifics of Lagbaja’s condition have not been made public, his absence created a leadership gap that the President swiftly filled with Oluyede, known for his extensive military experience and strategic acumen.

A brief statement from the President’s communications team noted, “President Tinubu decorates acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, as Lt. General,” signifying the formal transition and elevation of Oluyede’s responsibilities in overseeing the Nigerian Army.

As Oluyede assumes this critical role, the nation looks to him to guide the military through ongoing security challenges and uphold the professionalism and integrity that the Nigerian Armed Forces are known for. His decoration as Lt. General marks a new chapter in the leadership of the Army, with expectations high for continuity and improved operations.

The ceremony also reaffirms President Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring effective leadership across all branches of the Nigerian Armed Forces, especially at a time when national security remains a top priority for his administration.
