The Nigerian Armed Forces is an institution built on the bedrock of sacrifice, patriotism and discipline which is demanded from all its’ personnel so as to render selfless service to the nation and humanity at large. It is a distinguished institution occupied by selfless, patriotic and altruistic individuals who have sworn allegiance to, under every circumstances, provide security for lives and properties of other people where they serve.
Regardless of their safety, the Nigerian Armed Forces are positioned to the frontline, to stand as shield against all forms of attacks, violence, threats or intimidation from hostile forces and unfriendly organizations within and outside the base. They stand unshakable to prevent any forms of harm from reaching the citizens.
Today 15th January, 2025, is another day to commemorate the National Armed Forces Day, to celebrate and honor not just the men and women who serve in the armed forces, but as well as their families and veterans for their perseverance and sacrifices.
In our little way of showing appreciation, Nigerian government has set aside today to honor your sacrifices, to acknowledge your service to humanity, to commend you for a job well done, to encourage you to continue to do more and to assure you of our support for the institution. Your impact and effort cannot be underestimated at any point.
I hereby join well meaning Nigerians, home and abroad to celebrate our proud, disciplined, dedicated and committed armed forces, prayed God continue to guide and protect you.
God Bless Nigerians!
God Bless The Nigerian Armed Forces!
God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria!
