The Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno today, Friday hailed all fallen heroes of the Nigerian Armed Forces for the supreme sacrifices they made for the country.
Governor Eno said this during the emblem launch to mark the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, organised by the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare in Uyo, the state capital.
The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, said: “The remembrance of our fallen heroes today becomes imperative because a lot of people put their lives on the line and went through excruciating ordeals for the safety of the nation.
“In recent times, we have relied on our armed forces to tame militancy, terrorism and banditry in our nation; in other words, we still have a united and indivisible nation today and it is due to the sacrificial works of our armed forces. For me, this is the least we can do in acknowledgement of all the sacrifices they made for the collective good of Nigerians.”
