Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has said that it is more rewarding to celebrate the military and members of the security agencies for their contributions and sacrifices while they are alive, and not just when they are dead.
Governor Fubara made the remarks at the Inter-denominational Thanksgiving in commemoration of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration held at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Chaplaincy, Catholic Institute of West Africa (CIWA), Rumuibekwe, in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Sunday.
The Governor described as unfair, to only remember fallen heroes, as the yearly Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration represents, but to also put in place a more enduring measure of acknowledging and celebrating officers and men in active service for their gallantry.
Governor Fubara, therefore, assured that his administration will do everything possible within its powers to make life better for officers and men involved in various security operations, including legionnaires and survivors of fallen heroes within the State.
Governor Fubara recalled that the 2024 Armed Forces Remembrance Day was marked when his administration and the entire State were going through a lot of storm, but asserted that it is a lot different in 2025 because everybody looks brighter, fresher, with the outlook of his administration more better, bigger, stronger and comfortable steering the affairs of State.
