Kwara State Governor ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ has joined other eminent Kwarans, heads of security agencies, and the Nigeria Legion to lay the wreath in honour of the fallen and serving men of the Armed Forces for their tremendous services to the country.

The Governor also thanked the security agencies for their excellent roles in special operations in some parts of the state.

“The administration acknowledges the invaluable contributions of ex-service men and women to the protection of the territorial integrity of our country and the maintenance of peace, unity and progress of our great nation in particular and the world in general. We therefore salute your courage, patriotism and sacrifice,” he said.
