Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has donated ten million naira and a van to the Nigerian Legion in the state as part of efforts by his administration to support security agencies in the state with logistics.
The governor made the announcement at his office during the launch of the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem, and he urged the people, corporate organizations, and government at all levels to support the worthy cause of remembering the country’s heroes by proudly wearing the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem.
According to the Governor, celebration of the heroes past was not just an opportunity to say thank you just in words but also indeed.
“Our soldiers are our symbols, they are the symbols of our national unity and sovereignty. I implore all of us as individuals and corporate organizations, government at all levels to support this very worthy and commendable cause by not just donating generously but by ensuring that we all wear this emblem with pride, it is the least that we can do,” he noted.
Governor Abiodun, while restating his administration’s unwavering commitment to improving the state economy, assured that his administration will continue to implement its vision in line with the laid down “ISEYA” developmental agenda.
The chairman of the Nigerian Legion in Ogun state, Orukotan Olumuyiwa, had earlier expressed his delight at the support of the governor, saying history would continue to remember him for redefining the place of patriotism in development.
Orukotan noted that Armed Forces Remembrance Day is a great reminder of the mortalities and fatalities suffered by the nation’s fallen heroes, adding that soldiers are courageous mortals.
