Emphasising the importance of unity in diversity, the NANS president urged Nigerians to reject division and hatred, working collectively towards a nation where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

“On this Armed Forces Remembrance Day, let us not only remember the fallen heroes but also appreciate the sacrifices of our current servicemen and women,” Emonefe remarked, acknowledging the ongoing efforts of those who safeguard the nation’s security.

Emonefe concluded his message with a prayer for the Nigerian Armed Forces and the nation, invoking blessings for a better Nigeria where peace, unity, and prosperity prevail.
