The Chief of the Air Staff , Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has vowed to lead his operatives in ending insecurity once and for all.
He made this known on Wednesday when he met with Branch Chiefs, Air Officers Commanding, Directors, Commandants and Commanders at the NAF Headquarters, Abuja. In particular, he noted the upsurge in coup d’etat in the West African sub-region as well as the withdrawal of some nations from the Economic Community of West African States which have negative impacts on the collective regional security architecture.
Elaborating on his command philosophy backed by five key enablers, he stressed that these strategic measures have led to modest yet significant progress in various operational areas, including the fight against insurgency, terrorism, banditry, and oil theft. Air Marshal Abubakar also took the opportunity to commend the efforts of NAF personnel, expressing his gratitude for their support since he assumed office stating that, “the NAF, so far, has achieved modest yet significant progress in fighting insurgency, terrorism, banditry, oil theft, and other criminal activities in the country. Therefore, I wish to use this opportunity to commend you all for your efforts.
