Oluyede was appointed acting COAS on October 30, after the prolonged illness of Taoreed Lagbaja, the former army chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before his appointment, Oluyede served as the 56th commander of the Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army in Kaduna. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1992 and rose to the rank of major general in September 2020. Oluyede and Lagbaja were coursemates in the 39th Regular Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his address, Oluyede emphasized his extensive experience, having served in the Nigerian Army for over 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy exposure to national security issues in junior, middle, and senior career levels has prepared me adequately for this assignment,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the past five years, I have served at the senior and management level in the Nigerian Army and have been involved in the operations of the service. I cannot completely distance myself from the successes and setbacks of our great army.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He described his nomination as a privilege, viewing it as an opportunity to drive positive changes within the Nigerian Army to enable it to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Babajimi Benson, chairman of the Defence Committee, stated that the COAS must lead with integrity and prioritize the welfare of the troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Oluyede\u2019s address, the lawmakers proceeded to an executive session. Christopher Musa, Chief of Defence Staff, and other senior military officers accompanied Oluyede during the screening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House of Representatives has commenced the screening of Oluyede Oluyede, the acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
