Today our troops are involved in several internal security operations around the country. I must commend them for their commitment, dedication and discipline that have been their hallmark in the fight against insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminalities in Nigeria.
“I will like to use this occasion to appreciate them for their sacrifices to our fatherland and their contributions to the sustenance of peace in Enugu State, the South East and Nigeria at large. They have displayed an uncommon loyalty, resilience, bravery and patriotism in ensuring peace in the country. Their gallantry will continue to be our source of inspiration, as they strive daily, even amidst discomfort, to ensure the security of Nigeria and Nigerians.”
