During the Military Widows Outreach Programme at the Naval Base Abuja Parade Ground, Navy Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, the Director of Naval Information, stated that the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) is committed to ensuring that the sacrifices of fallen heroes are honored. He emphasized that the military cannot bridge the support gap alone and has initiated efforts to gather funds to assist widows and families of deceased military personnel.

Mrs. Olubunmi Oni, widow of the late Major S. Oni, who died in active service in Niger State in 2023, highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by widows and called for support from organizations for scholarships and job opportunities. Another widow, Mrs. Ibrahim Adeze, echoed the need for employment opportunities for young widows to help them sustain their families.
