The North East Women for Peace has commended the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, for initiating a welfare-focused programme aimed at improving the economic wellbeing of families of military personnel.
The group praised Gen. Oluyede for seeking the approval and support of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, through the Defence Headquarters, to engage financial institutions in providing soft loan schemes for spouses of service personnel at highly reduced interest rates.
