Governor of Gombe State, Muhammad Yahaya, has announced a donation of five million naira to the families of the slain heroes.
The Governor, who made the revelation during the lunch of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem Appeal Fund in Gombe, advised other individuals and groups to follow the noble act by donating to their welfare.
Manasseh Jatau, the Deputy who represented the Governor, stated that the 15th of November is traditionally observed as a memorial day for dead heroes.
He recalled that the heroes fought to ensure peace and stability in Nigeria and in the World, throughout the World War and the Nigeria Civil War.
Meanwhile, the Widows of the fallen heroes in Gombe State at the event called on Nigerians to lend a helping hand to the families they left behind, after serving the country.
One of the widows, Mrs Talatu Ali-Yusufu, who is now based in Kwaya, Billiri Local Government Area of Gombe State, said she lost her husband some 30 years ago and she and the children had been managing life in serious hardship.
She said four out of the seven children her husband left her with had gone to school, while the remaining children had resorted to rearing animals in the bush adding that those who picked them as their guardians had not felt the need to send them to school, saying the society was taking care of the families of those who paid the supreme price of defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria, as it should.
Mrs. Ali-Yusufu, however, thanked the Nigerian Legionnaires in Gombe State, who had been supportive of them over the years, with periodic relief assistance.
She specifically asked that the government step in to assist them with residential accommodation and animals, which they could keep and earn a living from them, saying they do not even have lands to cultivate food for the family.
Mrs. Esther Manzo, who is based in Kumo, Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State, said life had not been easy for her and the children, because she lost her husband 20 years ago and she alone had been raising their seven children, who fortunately for her, had been educated up to senior secondary school.
She, however, said they could not go beyond secondary school, due to lack of funds.
She also appreciated the assistance of the Legionnaires, who she said had given her sewing and grinding machines but called for more assistance to enable the children to continue with their education and have jobs to do.
The widow of the fallen hero said she learned to cultivate the land, which she hires from people and fries commercial beans cake in order to make ends meet.
She called on her fellow widows to find useful ventures in order to keep their families going.
Mrs. Manzo said the husband had served in Baruwa, Taraba State, as well as Lagos, Benin in Edo State, and Ekom, Akwa Ibom State.
The Chairman of the Nigerian Legions of the Gombe State Chapter, Sergeant Adamu Dogo Mayafin Waja, said the day was being commemorated annually in honour of the officers and men of the Nigerian Armed Forces, who paid the supreme price to keep others safe.
He said the date was changed in Nigeria to reflect January 15, when the Nigerian Civil War ended on January 15, 1970, saying the first shot was heard on 6th July 1967, to signify the commencement of the Nigerian Civil War.
Sergeant Dogo thanked the Gombe State Government for the opportunity given to them to perform security duties in 12 schools in the state in the past 20 years without a problem.
He did, however, request more government intervention for appropriate office accommodation and facilities, owing to the fact that he inherited a rented House as an office, which had broken doors/windows, no light, water, or toilet facilities, and two vehicles that were in poor condition due to their 11-year use.
Sergeant Dogo, meanwhile, commended the 301 Artillery Regiment for their assistance while urging for all other security authorities, including the organizing Ministry of Youth Development, to intervene.
