In a statement, Governor Sanwo-Olu, who donated N50million to the State chapter of the Nigerian Legion during the Appeal Fund and the launching of the Year 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day emblem at Lagos House, Ikeja on Tuesday, expressed his administration’s commitment to empower widows of the fallen heroes.
“Every year, we set out to remember our fallen heroes, men and women that served the country, especially on the war front. Those that paid the supreme price while serving the nation and it is customary that on January 15, we remember them.
“We gave commitments around empowering some of the widows. I am using this opportunity to direct the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to work with your office to identify beneficiaries and people that we can give empowerment and support to and that would be done within the first quarter of this year.
Speaking earlier, the Commandant of the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Legion, Col Fola Akande , commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for the welfare and concern of retired officers, saying “Mr Governor is indeed a worthy Patriot of the Nigerian Legion.”
