Today, we, as a nation, honour and pay tribute to the brave souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our beloved Nigeria. 

Today, we stand united in gratitude, remembering the fallen heroes of the Nigerian Armed Forces with respect and admiration.

In the face of danger, they displayed unwavering courage, confronting challenges head-on to preserve the security of our nation and protect the lives of fellow Nigerians. Their resilience, even in the darkest moments, has secured our unity and continuity.

We remember the sacrifices made, the blood spilled, and the dedication shown by these selfless individuals. Today, we honour their memory and vow never to forget the price they paid for our freedom.

To our heroes still standing, we extend our heartfelt prayers for your continued strength, protection, and well-being. Your commitment to the defence of our nation is a source of immense pride for us all. May God, in His infinite mercy, watch over you, guide you, and grant you the resilience to face the challenges that lie ahead.
As we reflect on the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes and express gratitude to those who continue to serve, let us, as a nation, renew our commitment to unity, peace, and progress. Together, let us strive to build ONE NIGERIA that genuinely reflects the values for which our heroes gave their all.
