Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Thursday launched appeal fund for the 2023 Emblem for the Armed Forces Remembrance Day with a sum of Five Million Naira with a pledge to expand the present level of partnership between the military and this present administration in the state.
Governor Adeleke while speaking during the launching held in osogbo, the State capital, assured that, his administration has a security sector reform which places welfare of service personnel at the centre stage.
” I recommit to the well being of our service personnel. Our veterans and their families will continue to receive our support in recognition of their service to the fatherland”.
Senator Adeleke who remarked that armed forces in particular are in many volatile sectors of the society confronting and curtailing open and subtle threats to the territorial integrity of the country, said, they should be applauded for the service they rendered to their fatherland.
He however said, the stability of the nation rests on the gallantry, patriotism and sacrifice of the security and military services.
“Today is another significant period to mark and remember the unquantifiable contributions of members of Nigeria’s Armed Forces to the peace and stability of our great country, Nigeria. We are gathered here as in other capitals across the country to place our debt of gratitude on records to our fallen heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice.
“We must live, many offered their precious lives. We must therefore continue to acknowledge the contributions of the armed forces to the survival of the nation.
