Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, says the Federal Government is committed to the welfare and well-being of Nigeria’s military veterans.
Akume said this on Wednesday when he received a delegation from the National Council of the Nigerian Legion, led by its Chairman, Grace Morenike Henry.
The SGF acknowledged the sacrifices of military veterans in defending the nation’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
According to him, the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains dedicated to improving the lives of retired military personnel who served with courage and patriotism.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is proud of the Nigerian military, both serving and retired. Their sacrifices have laid the foundation for the peace and stability we enjoy today.
“As a government, we remain committed to ensuring that our veterans are treated with dignity, respect, and the care they deserve,” the SGF said.
The former Benue State governor assured the delegation that concerns raised by the Nigerian Legion would be given careful consideration in collaboration with relevant government agencies.
