This accolade, bestowed by President Julius Maada Bio during the 17th Armed Forces Day, recognizes General Oluyede's exceptional service under the Economic Community of West Africa Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) during Sierra Leone's civil war. The award is seen as a tonic in the ongoing fight against terror, reminding Nigerians of General Oluyede's track record of performance in promoting regional peace and stability.

The group also praised the sustained strikes against terrorists, saying they are a testament to the government's commitment to protecting Nigerians. They urged Nigerians to close ranks, support the forces, and collectively move against the common enemy by providing timely and credible information to the authorities. The symbolism of General Oluyede's ECOMOG Hero Award is not lost on Nigerians. It serves as a reminder that with the right leadership, our military can overcome any challenge. Inc-CAN believes that General Oluyede's leadership, along with that of his Service Chiefs, will deliver decisive mission outcomes against the common enemy. As we continue to fight against terrorism, we must remain united and work together to achieve our goal of a safer and more secure Nigeria. In conclusion, General Oluyede's ECOMOG Hero Award is a testament to his bravery and leadership. As Nigerians, we must learn from his example and work together to defeat terrorism.
