President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid tribute to Nigeria’s armed forces on Armed Forces Remembrance and Celebration Day, honoring the men and women who have laid down their lives in service to the nation.
In a statement marking the occasion, Tinubu lauded the courage and dedication of both fallen and serving personnel, emphasizing that their sacrifices uphold Nigeria’s freedom and peace.
“Their names might not always be remembered, but their courage sustains our freedom and peace. A nation that forgets its fallen heroes loses its direction; Nigeria, however, remembers,” he said.
Addressing the families of the fallen—including widows, children, and loved ones—Tinubu acknowledged their profound loss. “Your loss is immense, and no words can replace the sacrifices of your loved ones. They served Nigeria with honour, and our people will never forget their contributions,” he added.
The President also recognized the ongoing service of military personnel across land, sea, and air, praising their discipline, bravery, and professionalism, often under challenging conditions.

“Today, we celebrate our serving personnel. A secure Nigeria stands behind those who defend it. We will continue to support them in action,” he said.
He concluded with prayers for the nation’s servicemen and women and for the fallen heroes: “May our fallen heroes rest in peace. May God strengthen our Armed Forces. May God bless Nigeria.”
