Buhari inaugurates SGF, Armed Forces remembrance emblem

President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the new Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha.

Mr. Mustapha’s inauguration preceded the weekly meeting of the
Federal Executive Council.

Buhari also inaugurated the Armed Forces remembrance emblem. He
commended men of the Armed Forces for their courage and sacrifices
as they grapple with diverse and contemporary security challenges
plaguing the country.

The President said it was worthwhile to honour the memory of
veterans who paid the supreme sacrifice to keep the country
united.

He said, “The resolve by our countrymen and women to remain in
one indivisible and indissoluble nation, Nigeria is at the centre
of this celebration.

“Indeed, the Remembrance Day Celebration is being marked on the
15th of January instead of 11th of November as in other
Commonwealth nations to commemorate the end of the Nigerian civil
war – a war that was fought to keep Nigeria one.

“We must, therefore, cast our minds back at the events that led
to the civil war, the immense human capital loss of the tragic war,
and resolve that never again shall we allow our dear nation by our
actions or inactions to experience another war.”
