The ceremony was attended by President Bola Tinubu, governors and other dignitaries.
At the event, President Tinubu promised support for the families of the victims.
He also announced scholarships for the children of the slain soldiers, including those in the womb.
President Tinubu, however, vowed that the killers would not go unpunished.
“We will find them, and our departed heroes will get justice,” the President said at the National Cemetery.
