As part of events to mark the Year 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebrations, the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has donated the sum of N100 million, four units of two-bedroom apartments in Ajara, and two pick-up utility vehicles to the State Council of the Nigerian Legion.

He also donated four cows, 500 bags of rice, and other food items to members of the Nigerian Legion as part of his administration’s commitment to the welfare of Legionnaires and families of the fallen heroes.

According to a statement by Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor announced the donations on Monday at the State Executive Council meeting during the Appeal Fund and Launching of the Year 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem at Lagos House, Ikeja.

The governor said the launching of the Emblem Appeal ahead of the January 15, 2026, commemoration of Armed Forces Remembrance Day has become a tradition that has come to stay in Nigeria, noting that he considers it a constitutional duty to remember the fallen heroes who have served the country, while some have become handicapped in the process as well.
