Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has commended the Renewed Hope Initiative for providing financial support to widows of fallen personnel of the Armed Forces and Police.
Shaibu spoke on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during the second edition of the Renewed Hope Initiative Presentation of Financial Support to Widows of Fallen Heroes.
The event was organised by the Office of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, under the RHI Social Investment Programme.
The Army Chief described the intervention as a demonstration of national appreciation and solidarity with families of security personnel who lost their lives in service to the country.
He said continued support for the families was not only a way of honouring the sacrifices of fallen personnel but also an important boost to the morale and commitment of serving troops.
Shaibu appreciated the First Lady and the Renewed Hope Initiative for complementing existing welfare programmes of the Nigerian Army for personnel and their families.
He reaffirmed the Army’s commitment to honouring its fallen heroes and ensuring that their families receive the dignity, care and support they deserve.
