As earlier announced, Saturday, 12th November 2016 between 5 and 7 pm
there shall be a special event to honour the patriotism and sacrifice
of Nigerian troops who have passed on, most especially those fighting
the counter-insurgency war in Northeast Nigeria. This is to demonstrate
how much we Nigerians appreciate them and their families, for effort and
sacrifice to keep us protected.
This event shall hold at Unity Fountain Abuja. Formal invitations
have gone out to the Ministry of Defence, the Defence, Army, Navy, Air
force, and Police headquarters, as well as their respective officers’
wives associations. We are also working with the various associations of
ex-servicemen, and non-governmental and civil society organisations
(NGOs/CSOs) involved with activities of honouring our heroes.
The key features of tomorrow‘s event include
tributes to our heroes by families, friends, colleagues, and citizens.
There shall also be prayers, and close with a candlelight procession
within the venue.
Kindly make arrangements to attend and invite others. Please share as
many images along with names of our departed heroes with the hashtag
#NigeriansHonorOurHeroes to show appreciation and honour their memory.
