Reps confirm Oluyede as Army Chief

The House of Representatives has confirmed Olufemi Oluyede as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS).

The approval followed the presentation of a report by Babajimi Benson, Chairman of the Committee on Defense.

Oluyede had undergone screening on Wednesday by the Joint Committee on Army and Defense.

Oluyede was nominated by President Bola Tinubu to serve as Acting COAS following the health challenges of the former Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, who later passed away.
