Every man is born a hero.
It takes a hero to be a soldier. The Soldier Heroes live forever.
Their memories never die. Their valour and sacrifice make a nation.
On this special occasion of the Armed Forces and Remembrance Day Celebrations, I commemorate the amazing selflessness of our fallen heroes who have paid the supreme price to ensure that our country remains indivisible.
To our retired and serving members of the Nigerian Army, I salute your courage and appreciate your commitment and loyalty.
To the families of our departed colleagues, our love, thoughts and prayers are always with you.
To the good people of Nigeria, I say thank you for your support and goodwill.
May God bless our Armed Forces and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen.
Lt Gen Tukur Buratai COAS
