Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, General Waker said the interim government is likely to be sworn in at 8 pm on Thursday.
He also said the advisory council may have 15 members.
Yunus, the 84-year-old economist, was on Tuesday appointed as the head of interim government by President Mohammed Shahabuddin, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following deadly protests against her government over a controversial quota system in jobs.
