Buhari, during the launching, urged corporate organisations and business concerns to support the veterans’ cause through voluntary donations, employment and welfare support.
He also urged Nigerians to avoid issues that promote the differences of Nigerians.
The President also insisted that Nigeria’s security was not negotiable
