“As a government, we are performing.’’
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Sunday pledged continuous support for the armed forces as they continue to defend the integrity of the country.
Mr Fubara gave the assurance at the interdenominational church thanksgiving service in commemoration of the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day held at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt.
“For us as a government, we will continue to give our support, not just to the fallen heroes as we are doing, but to also those who are alive defending the integrity of our country,” he said.
Earlier, the Bishop of the Diocese of Niger Delta, Rev. Emmanuel Oko-Jaja called on the government and Nigerians to reflect on, honour and support members of the military for their various levels of sacrifices in the protection of the territorial sovereignty of Nigeria.
Mr Oko-Jaja acknowledged that the positive traits of patriotism, firm belief in the unity of Nigeria, continual selfless sacrifice, commitment to building the nation and uncompromised dedication to duties were enviable qualities that make soldiers worthy of being celebrated.
