The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, has said the security threats being experienced in the country will soon become history.

General Irabor, made this remark at the National church service to mark this years’ Armed Forces Remembrance Day .

“I would like to specially commend members of the armed forces, especially the veterans who laid the foundation on which we are building upon to bring peace and security to every part of the country." He said. 

"There are challenges but the challenges are not as much as where we started from. That gives hope for everyone that as we go into the year, that there is ample opportunity to escalate the actions that brought the peace that we now enjoy and also to take it to another level where there would be no need for anyone to live in fear in any part of the country.” He further highlighted. 

The Chief of Army staff, Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya, while delivering his goodwill message, at the event, noted that the Celebration, is organised yearly in recognition of our fallen heroes. These are gallant men and women, who paid the ultimate price in the defence of peace, stability, unity and prosperity of our dear nation, Nigeria and the world at large.

He maintained that care for the injured and maimed personnel will remain a cardinal focus under his watch.
