Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, has commended the Nigerian Armed Forces for their sacrifices, including the supreme sacrifice paid by members of the armed forces, saying that the Enugu State Government would continue to support them in their efforts to make the country safe.
Mbah, who assured that the sacrifices of the fallen heroes would not be in vain, however, urged Nigerians to eschew all expressions of hate and acts of violence and insecurity. He stressed that only by so doing would the country truly reciprocate the gallantry of the servicemen and honour the memory of those who paid the supreme price in the service of the fatherland.
The governor gave the commendations and assurances at the laying of wreaths and parade at the Okpara house, Enugu, to conclude the series of events marking the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
He said, "As we are all aware, the Remembrance Day celebration is an annual event to honour the memory of the brave men and women of the Armed Forces, who have paid the supreme sacrifice to ensure that we and countless others across the globe can continue to live in freedom.
"These selfless men and women whom we remember, and honor today gave their lives in operations ranging from the Nigerian Civil War and the numerous internal security operations across the country today to various peacekeeping operations in places as far as Chad, Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone and many others.
"The sacrifices of these our dear departed defenders are most certainly not lost on us, and our only responsibility as the beneficiaries of their great labour of love can only be to ensure that their high price is ultimately not paid in vain.
"Consequently, we must constantly rededicate ourselves to the duty of maintaining peace and security across our great Nation, not only by eschewing all expressions of hate or acts of violence and insecurity, but also by supporting our brothers and sisters in the security agencies.
"In line with this, this administration will certainly continue to support the men and women of our security services in the state.
"I join you all in praying for the repose of the souls of members of the Armed Forces that made the supreme sacrifice in service of the country and humanity. May their gentle souls rest in perfect and eternal peace. Amen."
Dr. Mbah thanked members of the armed forces and security agencies for the relative peace and stability that now prevail in the state and enjoined them to continue to show utmost discipline and patriotism.
"I would also like to, once again, restate our profound gratitude, on behalf of the Government and people of Enugu State, to the Commanders, officers, soldiers and air men of 82 Division Nigerian Army and 553 Base Services Group Nigerian Air Force as well as the members of the other security agencies for their untiring sacrifice towards securing lives and property of the citizens of Enugu State.
"The current environment of relative peace and tranquillity we are enjoying in Enugu State is due in no small measure to your efforts, which are most appreciated and will never be taken for granted.
"I also commend the officers, men, and women of the security agencies for the cordial relationships they have maintained with their various host communities across the state.
"I enjoin you all to remain the disciplined, competent, and gallant officers we have always known you to be," Mbah said.
He wished members of the armed forces and their families a great 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration.
The colourful event, which also witnessed the release of pigeons by the governor as a symbol of peace and love, was attended by heads of the other arms of government and the military formations in the state such as the Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Uchenna Ugwu; Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Ozoemenam Afojulu; and the General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Enugu, Major Gen. Hassan Taiwo Dada, represented by the Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Murtala Abu.
Others were the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Police Command, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu; the Commander, 553 Base Service Group (BSG), Nigerian Air Force, Commodore S.A Eyoma, among others.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
