The President noted that although their names might not always be remembered, but their “courage sustains our freedom and peace”.

According to him “A nation that forgets its fallen heroes loses its direction; Nigeria, however, remembers.

“I also speak today to the families of our fallen heroes- widows, children, and loved ones. Your loss is profound, and no words can replace the sacrifices of your loved ones.

“They served Nigeria with honour, and our people will never forget their sacrifices

“Today, we celebrate our serving personnel. From the frontlines to support positions, on land, sea, and air, you carry the heavy responsibility of protecting our people and sovereignty with discipline, courage, and professionalism, often far from home.”

He assured the armed forces that as “President and Commander in Chief, I reaffirm my commitment to the welfare and dignity of our Armed Forces.

“A secure Nigeria stands behind those who defend it. We will continue to support them in action.”

The President prayed that God Almighty will grant the fallen heroes peaceful rest and continue to strengthen the Armed Forces.
