President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigerians must cast their minds back at the events that led to the tragic civil war and resolve that never again shall they allow the nation, by their actions or inactions, to experience another war.
Speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja Wednesday after launching the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem and Appeal Fund, Buhari recalled that the civil war caused the nation an immense human capital loss.

According to the president, “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.”
He said it is worthwhile to honour the memory of the nation’s distinguished veterans who paid the supreme sacrifice to keep the country united.
“Some others have spent the best part of their lives in service to keep our nation and the world in peace.”
