THE House of Representatives, yesterday, urged the Federal Government to immortalise former Chief of General Staff, late Lt. Gen. Oladipo Diya (retd).

The call was sequel to the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance, sponsored by Mr. Kolapo Osunsanya.

Diya passed on Sunday at the age of 78 years.

Osunsanya, in his motion, described the Diya as a gallant soldier.

Observing one-minute silence in honour of the deceased, the House later raised a 6-man delegation to be led by Deputy Majority leader, Mr Peter Akpatason and Mr Babajimi Benson to visit the deceased family in Lagos.
