Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has called for the institution of a reward system to encourage soldiers to put in their best for Nigeria.<\/p>\n
He made the call during an inter-denominational Church Service marking the 2020 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration at Saint Peter\u2019s Anglican Church, Rumuepirikom on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Governor, who urged members of the armed forces to be professional, praised them for the roles they have played in preserving the unity of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for them, kidnappers, cultists, insurgents and armed robbers would have taken over the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge members of the Armed Forces to choose the right path in the interest of the country,\u2019\u2019 NAN quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n
In a sermon, Venerable Samuel Chimele, called on soldiers to be professional in the discharge of their duties to the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we remember our fallen heroes, be professional. There are temptations to the military to be unprofessional, but strive to be professional,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
He said that soldiers who engage in unprofessional acts will go unrecognised in the long run, even when they enjoy earthly promotion.<\/p>\n
Chimele also warned soldiers against misuse of power against national interest, in the sermon with the theme, \u201cFaithfulness in Service: The Hallmark of a True Soldier\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
