Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has called for better care and attention for families of fallen heroes as a way of showing gratitude for their selfless service to the country.
He made the remarks on Wednesday at the 2020 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Ilorin, the state capital.
AbdulRazaq commended the departed heroes for their selfless service in protecting the territorial integrity of the country and strengthening the unity, peace and security of the nation, as he pledged more support to activities of security agencies.
“For the living and families of the fallen heroes, we have to continue to pray for them, support them, engage them and thank them for their service to Nigeria.
“Our security agencies are doing exceedingly well in performing their mandate and we have to support them to perform their mandate of ensuring security in the state and Nigeria at large,” AbdulRazaq said.
The governor also promised more support for the Nigeria Legion’s outreaches and other programmes in the state.
