For the first time ever, Nigerians are coming together to show their appreciation to troops fighting terrorism in a tangible way. Bottles of water, branded with "Thank you for your service" are being sent to troops in the frontlines, to support government provision as well as encourage those risking their lives to protect the country against terror.
The bottles of water are produced with donations from well wishers. It is the first step in a drive to raise public awareness about the need to support the national troops, especially during this period of the protracted campaign against boko haram terrorism.
It is expected that subsequently, more initiatives will be introduced, including setting up an Emergency Relief Fund, rebate/ discount on goods and services, Counselling centres for veterans, scholarship schemes for children of servicemen, etc.
Such initiatives are aimed at encouraging troops, raising morale, boosting civil-military relationship, and overall, getting better service from them.
Hopefully, each sip of water will not only quench their thirst, but fill them with reassurance that the nation appreciates their sacrifice.
#Thank a soldier today #Water For troops

Water for troops...
Water is one of the most important things for troops in the Northeast. The harsh weather and terrain makes the demand for water very high.
Though troops must practice Water Discipline, an extra bottle, stashed somewhere, can come in handy when they have delayed stays in the bush.

showing appreciation is one sure to boast their morale...we appreciate you gallant soldiers
