The Defense Headquarters (DHQ) has expressed its honor and satisfaction over this development. They will interact with service members and participate in a variety of cultural events while they are in the nation.
Recall that Prince Harry, the Duke of Duchess, established the Invictus Games, an international multisport competition that provides a rehabilitation route for sick, injured, and wounded service members worldwide.
Additionally, it helps troops get notice and appreciation in society, which aids in their recovery process.
The Invictus games has about 500 participants at the last outing and 21 nations in attendance, including Nigeria which made a head way with gold and silver at it’s first outing last year.
A statement by Brig Gen Tukur Vusau, Acting Director of Defence Information said, “The visit is to consolidate Nigeria strong hold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event in later years”.
“The Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru who was at Germany at last year’s event, has accepted to host the games when granted to Nigeria.”
The word ‘Invictus’ means ‘unconquered’. It embodies the fighting spirit of the wounded, injured and sick service personnel and what these tenacious men and women can achieve, post injury.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
