Speaker Abbas hails gallant Armed Forces, salutes fallen heroes

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, has hailed the Nigerian Armed Forces for their gallantry and patriotism, saying they remain one of the best in the world.
Speaker Abbas said this in his message to commemorate this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day, which is marked every January 15, to mourn and celebrate Nigeria’s fallen heroes.
The Speaker stated that Nigeria would not have been able to experience prosperity if the country was not safe and secure for businesses and other economic activities to thrive.
This, he said, underscores the critical role of the Armed Forces in the general wellbeing of the nation.
Speaker Abbas noted that while parts of the country still experience security threats, the Armed Forces have risen to the occasion most times.
He, however, urged the military, security and intelligence agencies to do more in securing lives and property, which he noted is the primary responsibility of the government.
The Speaker equally mourned security agents who have died in the line of duty, describing their deaths as heroic sacrifice. He said the supreme prices they paid in their efforts to make the country liveable would not be forgotten.
Speaker Abbas said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has significantly boosted the morale of service men by rejigging the security architecture, compensating the families of fallen heroes, as well as clearing backlogs of unpaid salaries and allowances to serving and retired service men.
