The Senate on Wednesday confirmed General Olufemi Oluyede as the Chief of Defence Staff, barely an hour after he arrived at the National Assembly complex in Abuja for screening alongside other newly appointed service chiefs.
The swift confirmation came during a plenary session presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who described the exercise as a constitutional obligation aimed at strengthening national security.
