Remembrance Day: Adeleke Reiterates Commitment To Partner Military
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has reiterated his administration’s commitment to expanding the current level of partnership with the military to ensure that the state remained secured.

In recognition of their service to the state and country at large, Adeleke pledged to ensure that military officers and their families will continue to receive the state government’s support.
While launching the appeal fund for the 2023 Emblem for the Armed Forces Remembrance Day with five million naira, Adeleke said the wellbeing of service personnel is on the front burner of his administration.
“As we gathered here today, I reassure the military service of the commitment of our government to expand the present level of partnership. Our administration has a security sector reform which places welfare of service personnel at the centre stage.
Governor Adeleke said: The stability of the nation rests on the gallantry, patriotism and sacrifice of the security and military services saying that service personnel of the armed forces in particular are in many volatile sectors of the society confronting and curtailing open and subtle threats to the territorial integrity of the country.
“That we must live, many offered their precious lives. We must therefore continue to acknowledge the contributions of the armed forces to the survival of the nation.
“Today, I recommit to the wellbeing of our service personnel. Our veterans and their families will continue to receive our support in recognition of their service to the fatherland.
“It is on this note that I launch the appeal fund for the 2023 Emblem for the Armed Forces Remembrance Day with a sum of N5 million.”
