The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has harped on the need to take advantage of the experiences of ex-service men in addressing the security challenges confronting the country.
The governor made the call after laying a wreath in honour of Nigerian fallen heroes during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration, in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
He said, “In the last few years, the challenges facing our security men are on the increase as a result of the insurgency in the country. It is important to encourage the ex-service men, letting them know that the country appreciates their sacrifices and service and for them to know that whatever happened to them in the course of discharging their duties, they will never be forgotten and their labour shall not be in vain.”
