A Tribute to Our Fallen Heroes I returned to Nigeria this morning only to be confronted with the heartbreaking news of the brutal murder of Brigadier-General M. Uba, among others who are courageously fighting terrorists to protect the rest of us. I am deeply saddened by this tragic development. At this moment of national grief, I extend my profound sympathies to the families of the fallen officers and to the entire military community. I also use this opportunity to salute the gallantry of all our military personnel who, day after day, make enormous sacrifices — including the ultimate sacrifice — in the service of our nation. While I pray that their sacrifices will never be in vain, I call on the Federal Government to strengthen security architecture across the country; to provide our armed forces with the equipment, intelligence support, welfare, and motivation they urgently require; and to ensure that those who attack the Nigerian state are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice. Nigeria must honour its heroes not only with words, but by building a nation where their labour and sacrifices contribute to lasting peace, safety, and national renewal. May the souls of Brigadier-General M. Uba and all the faithful departed rest in perfect peace. -PO
