The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede as the substantive Chief of Army Staff (COAS) following the adoption of the Army Committee’s screening report.

The report was presented at plenary on Tuesday by the Chairman of the Committee on Army, Sen. Abdulaziz Yar’adua (APC-Katsina), who commended Oluyede’s impressive credentials, achievements, and understanding of the responsibilities of the office.

Yar’adua said the committee was impressed with the high level of understanding, achievements, and excellence in the nominee’s credentials.

He said the nomination of Oluyede is in line with Section 217, Subsection 2 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

He also said that the nomination is under the provisions of Section 18, Subsection 1 of the Armed Forces Act.

He explained that “the nominee possesses the required competence, experience, and educational qualifications to be conferred with Chief of Army Staff.

Yar’adua said the DSS had cleared the nominee and went through the correct promotion process to date, qualifying him to occupy the Chief of Army Staff position.
