In a heartfelt tribute to the sacrifices of Nigeria’s fallen heroes, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of ex-servicemen and their families. Taking to his official X handle, the governor announced the launch of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Emblem, a symbolic gesture aimed at honoring the bravery and sacrifices of Nigeria’s military personnel.
Governor Fintiri demonstrated his dedication to this cause with a generous donation of ₦50 million to the Nigerian Legion, underscoring his administration’s unwavering support for the welfare of veterans. “Today, we honor the sacrifices of our fallen heroes by launching the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Emblem,” the governor stated. “This emblem is not just a symbol; it is a call to action, a commitment to ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten.”
In addition to the financial contribution, the governor announced groundbreaking initiatives to further support the members of the Nigerian Legion in Adamawa State.

This marks a significant milestone in the state’s effort to prioritize the well-being of its veterans.
Furthermore, Governor Fintiri extended an invitation to members of the Nigerian Legion to take advantage of the state’s skill acquisition centers. These centers, designed to provide hands-on training in various trades and crafts, will empower ex-servicemen and women with the skills needed to thrive in civilian life, fostering self-reliance and economic independence.
“This is not just a ceremony; it is a commitment to those who have selflessly served this nation,” Governor Fintiri emphasized. “We owe our peace and freedom to the sacrifices of our armed forces, and it is our duty to ensure they are cared for and supported in every possible way.”
