Olanrewaju Ibrahim Layode, called for continuous prayers and support for the families of fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price for the peace and sovereignty of Nigeria.


He emphasised the critical role played by the Armed Forces in ensuring national security and reaffirmed the State Government's commitment to honouring their sacrifices even long after they have died.


The Deputy Governor highlighted the importance of the special Jumat Service in praying for eternal rest for the departed heroes and reiterated the government's consistent support towards the welfare of their families and dependents.


He noted that the Lagos State Government, as customary, through the Nigeria Legion (Lagos State Chapter), has provided financial and logistic assistance to widows, widowers, and dependents of the deceased personnel.


As part of these efforts, Hamzat mentioned the recent donation of the sum of ₦75 million by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the provision of vehicles to enhance the operations of the Legionnaires within the state. 


These initiatives, he added, are among several acts of goodwill by the State Government to support the Nigeria Legion's cause.

Earlier in his sermon, the Guest Speaker, Dr. AbdulMajeeb Isa, an Islamic Scholar, charged Nigerians to be ready to make sacrifices both to God and their country, adding that there are divine rewards for such acts of patriotism and selflessness in the afterlife.


He cited that the great heroes of the Armed Forces have paid great sacrifices for the greatness and stability of Nigeria by dying for its defence and security which has guaranteed the survival of the country.


The event was graced by members of the State Executive Council, Body of Permanent Secretaries, representatives of the Armed Forces comprising of the Nigerian Army, the Navy, the Nigerian Police, the Department of State Security, the Nigerian Legion amongst others, Imams, Clerics, Heads of Paramilitary groups, and other dignitaries.
