The yearly celebrations and honour to our fallen heroes who lived and laid down their lives for the unity of the country, its people and those yet unborn is a task that needs to be accomplished by all and sundry. The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division Nigerian Army Major General Aminu Chinade made this known when the Oyo State 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration Committee led by its Chairman Barrister Tayo Ayoade paid him a courtesy visit.
The GOC while commending members of the committee for the progress made so far which he observed was due to the commitment and zeal attached to the celebrations, urged them not to relent until remarkable achievement is attained. He assured them that 2 Division will continue to handsomely support the committee, the veterans and their families in its Area of Responsibility.

He noted that the more Nigerians are willing to donate towards their welfare and the honour accorded those that have died and the more support to their families will serve as a morale booster to those that are still living.
