President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday inaugurated the 2020 Emblem Appeal Launch for the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration with a donation of N10 million on behalf of the Federal Government.

               
           
               
                   

The president made the donation shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

               
           
               
                   

Buhari encouraged all citizens to donate generously in support of veterans and dependents of the fallen heroes.

               
           
               
                   

The president also called on Nigerians and others resident in Nigeria to procure and wear the emblem with pride, to identify with those who sacrificed their lives for the peace and security of the nation.

               
           
               
                   

He enjoined government agencies at federal and state levels to continue to patronise services of Nigerian Legion Corps of Commissionaires in the provision of security services.

               
           
               
                   

“I am happy to note that the Legion has continued to be a rallying point of veterans and has done its part in catering for the welfare of their ailing members.

               
           
               
                   

“I enjoin the leadership of the Legion to continue in this spirit.
