Armed Forces Remembrance Day: Uzodinma urges citizens to assist children of fallen officers
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has appealed to the civil populace, especially private school owners, to show gratitude to the children of the fallen officers by awarding scholarships to them as a way to cushion the effects of the loss of their bread-winners.
Uzodinma made the request as he attend the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration at the Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu Square, New Owerri, Imo State.
He maintained that beyond the annual observance, there was a need to focus on the significance of the fallen heroes who scarified and laid down their lives for others and for the peace and continued existence of the nation.
The Governor noted that the sacrifice made by the fallen officers is the highest form of patriotism for which the nation cannot easily forget and must ever remain grateful.
“Patriotism is the love of one’s country. These Nigerians we are remembering today love Nigeria unto death.
“We have various contributions to make to demonstrate our love for Nigeria,” he observed.
The number one citizen of the State further said that Nigeria as a nation needs to do all within its power to support the families of the departed gallant soldiers, adding that the support could be physical, through monetary assistance, emotional or through kind words of consolations and encouragement.
He pointed out that extending helping hands to the families of the deceased officers will reassure them that their husbands and fathers did not die in vain.
On the side of his administration, Uzodimma assured of continuing assistance to both the families of the departed and serving personnel, saying that the people of the State owed the security agencies immense gratitude for helping the State battle insecurity.
He regretted that some of them have died in the course of maintaining peace in the State, and assured that his Government will continue to honour the memories of such heroes.
Again, he appealed to the citizens not to hesitate in volunteering helpful information to the security agencies in the fight against insecurity,
Uzodinma further used the occasion to extend the State’s support and appreciation to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support, assistance, encouragement and funding of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the fight against insecurity in the sountry.
During the event, Governor Uzodimma laid a wreath as the Special Guest of honour and performed the symbolic release of pigeons to signify peace in the land.
