The Nigerian Defence Academy Officers’ Wives Association (NDAOWA), on Thursday paid a heartfelt visit to the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna, to commemorate the 2025 Democracy Day with wounded-in-action soldiers.
The NDAOWA Co-ordinator, Mrs Halima Ibrahim, expressed deep gratitude and solidarity with the gallant warriors who have made immense sacrifices in service to Nigeria.
Ibrahim said, “On behalf of the entire NDAOWA, I am honoured and humbled to be here today as we commemorate Democracy Day, a day that reminds us of the strength, resilience and unity that defines our great nation.
“Today’s outreach is more than just a visit. It is a symbol of our deep gratitude and a heartfelt expression of love and solidarity with you our heroes who have sacrificed so much in service to Nigeria.
“Each one of you is a living testimony to courage. Your scars are not signs of defeat but of duty fulfilled.
“You stood in defence of our democratic ideals, our freedom and our peace at a great and personal cost.”
She appreciated their services, courage and sacrifices not just in words, but through the token of appreciation, adding, “we hope it will bring warmth to your hearts and light to your spirits.
“You are not forgotten, you are honoured and you are loved.
“NDAOWA remains committed to supporting the welfare of our soldiers, our husbands and their families.
“We will continue to stand by you, for you and with you in prayers, in actions and in outreaches such as this, because you stood and still stand for our dear country Nigeria.”
Ibrahim said that democracy was thriving in the country sequel to their invaluable contributions, saying, “it is also because men and women like you guard it with unshakable resolve.
“Our freedom endures because of your sacrifices. May God bless you, heal you and strengthen you. May God bless our Armed Forces.”
