President Bola Tinubu has officially promoted Olufemi Oluyede, the acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS), to the rank of Lieutenant General.
This announcement, confirmed by sources at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, has sparked speculation regarding a potential future appointment as the permanent head of the army.
Oluyede, who was previously a Major General, stepped into the role of acting army chief following the illness of former Army Chief Taoreed Lagbaja.
