ACROSS Nigeria, citizens and governments mark Armed Forces and Remembrance Day on Thursday, January 15. Beyond being a day set aside to honour the men and women who paid the supreme price in the defence of the country, and to reflect on the true cost of peace, unity and sovereignty, the day is one of the most solemn and significant dates in the nation’s calendar but unfortunately, not many citizens know.

Remembrance Day is traditionally observed with prayers, wreath-laying and memorial ceremonies at cenotaphs and state arcades, where members of the armed forces, security agencies, public officials and ordinary citizens gather to pay tribute to fallen heroes of Nigeria’s wars and internal security struggles.
