General Lagbaja, who served as Chief of Army Staff from June 19, 2023, until his death on November 5, 2024, was honored by this decision.
In addition to rescheduling the FEC meeting, President Tinubu has ordered that flags be flown at half-staff nationwide for seven days to commemorate the late general.
