Honouring fallen heroes responsibility of all Nigerians: GOC
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Aminu Chinade, says honouring fallen heroes is the responsibility of all Nigerians.
Mr Chinade stated this when the Oyo State 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration Committee, led by its chairman Tayo Ayoade, paid him a courtesy visit on Tuesday at the Division’s Headquarters in Ibadan.
The GOC said the fallen heroes lived and died for the unity of the country, its people and those yet unborn.
He said the yearly celebration and honouring the fallen heroes was a task that needed to be accomplished by all and sundry.
The GOC commended committee members for their commitment and zeal for the celebration and progress.
Mr Ayoade said the veterans and families of departed heroes deserved the best, urging Nigerians to contribute to their welfare.
He solicited the support of the division towards achieving its mandate and all the activities lined up for the celebration.
The Armed Forces Remembrance Day is celebrated in Nigeria annually on January 15 to honour and respect the fallen heroes, veterans and serving personnel of the Armed Forces.
