  "summary": "The President of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association, Mrs Mernan Oluyede, has highlighted the critical importance of military families' welfare to personnel morale and effectiveness. She emphasized the need to provide children of military personnel with safe, supportive, and nurturing homes, as the demands of military service, such as deployments, prolonged absence, frequent relocations, and uncertainties, impose unique pressures on officers’ spouses and children. Oluyede's remarks at a child welfare programme organized by the National Defence College Officers’ Welfare Association in Abuja underscore the connection between resilient military families and the peace of mind needed for personnel to focus on their duties, ultimately strengthening the morale of personnel, national security, and the overall effectiveness of security institutions.",
