Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has vowed to prioritise the welfare of families of fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price during service to Nigeria.
The governor who made the promise at the wreath-laying ceremony of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day held at Ahmadu Bello Stadium lamented that most of the dependents live in penury and squalor.
Represented by the Rt. Honourable Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Honourable Yusuf Liman said that the government shall continue to design and implement empowerment schemes that will lift them from poverty to self-sustenance.
‘’We pray fervently to the Almighty God to continue to have mercy on the souls of our fallen heroes. May He continue to comfort and strengthen the families they left behind,’’ he prayed.
He further mentioned that members of the Armed Forces are on various fronts making huge sacrifices to keep Nigerians safe and secure.
Sani said the country owes them a debt of gratitude, hence the need for Nigerians to continue honouring the fallen heroes by making huge contributions for unity and enhancing peaceful co-existence.
“The Armed Forces Remembrance Day is a sober and important national event where we remember those that paid the ultimate price to keep our country one, protect citizens and ward off foreign aggressors. Their acts of valour and heroism will forever be remembered and appreciated by Nigeria and Nigerians.
“As we mark this day, we must take a moment and reflect on the challenges of nation building and urgent need to rededicate ourselves to the building and consolidation of peace and unity in our dear country.
“This solemn event commemorates the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, honouring the sacrifices of our brave men and women in uniform,” he said.
