Today marks a year of profound sorrow—a solemn anniversary that echoes with the heavy weight of national grief. Eight gallant servants of our nation lost their lives tragically in the line of noble national duty, perishing in a helicopter crash while serving the land they loved so deeply. We remember Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Alhaji Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, ministers who carried the weight of national duty with quiet resolve. We remember Alhaji Muniru Mohammed, Dr. Samuel Sarpong, and Samuel Aboagye, whose dedication to country never wavered. These were not only public servants but patriots of the highest order, men of exceptional courage, dedication, and selflessness who answered the call of duty without hesitation.
