President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned the demise of retired General Oladipo Diya, who served as Chief of General Staff from 1993 to 1997 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994.
The President, in a statement by his Spokesman, Femi Adesina, in Abuja paid tribute to Diya’s bold and courageous career in the Nigerian military.
He lauded him for his dedicated service to the country as General Officer Commanding, Eighty-two Division, Commandant of National War College between 1991 to 1993, Chief of Defence Staff, and Military Governor of Ogun from January 1984 to August 1985.
Buhari said Diya was known for his brilliance, exceptional organisational skills, and discipline, displayed in the important roles he held in office as a military officer.
