“We must also carry the spirit of remembrance and gratitude with us as we go forth from this gathering. Let us never forget the debt we owe to our veterans and let us always strive to honour their legacy in all that we do.
“It is on this note that I launch the sale of the emblem with a state donation of N4million to the glory of God and the benefit of mankind,” he said.
