The House of Representatives has asked the Federal Government to immortalize late elder statesman Lt. Gen. Oladipo Diya.
The House made the resolution on Tuesday, following a motion from the member representing Ijebu Ode/Odogbolu/Ijebu North East Federal Constituency, Kolapo Osunsanya.
The Lower Chamber held a moment of silence in his honour and stated that a delegation would be sent to visit his family in Lagos.
Diya’s death was announced in a statement by his son, Prince Oyesinmilola Diya, on Sunday morning.
The late general, who was the chief of staff under the late head of state General Sani Abacha, died barely a week before he turned 79.
