President of the Nigerian Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said on Monday that the Armed Forces deserved the support of Nigerians for the sacrifices they are making in tackling various forms of insecurity across the country.
According to a statement by his media aide, Ezrel Tabiowo, Lawan said this on Monday when he received a delegation of the 2022 Armed Forces Decorations team at his office in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The Senate President said the armed forces in its bid to secure and protect Nigerians against the activities of insurgents and criminals, continue to pay the ultimate price which has resulted in countless deaths of exceptional military personnel.
He said, “It is important that we appreciate the sacrifices done by our armed forces, especially those who have been directly affected and their families.
Lawan added that the National Assembly on its part would support the military by ensuring that sufficient funds are appropriated to cater for security in the 2022 budget under consideration by the legislature.
