Enugu – The Nigeria Air
Force has completed its
International Helicopter
Flying School in Enugu and
may inaugurate it in July, an
official has said.

The Chief of Air Staff, Air
Marshal Mohammed Umar,
made the announcement
during a courtesy visit to
Gov. Sullivan Chime at the
Government House in Enugu
on Thursday.
“Your Excellency, you will
recall that sometime in 2010,
we were here in Enugu
when the Nigeria Air Force
brought the idea of
establishing an international
helicopter flying school here
in Enugu.

“Since then, we have put
plans in motion to realise
that dream. I am very
delighted to inform you that
the dream is gradually
coming to pass. We hope
and pray that the school will
take off on July 23, 2012.
“That is why I am here
personally to come and
inspect the level of progress
of work in the school.
I am
very glad to inform you that
more than 90 per cent of the
project has been completed,’’
the air force boss said.
He said that although the
force was experiencing
some challenges in the cause
of the inauguration, it would
ensure the total completion
before the date of the
opening.

The air chief assured the
governor that it was ready to
give the state the deserved
exposure to the international
community.
Responding, Chime
expressed delight that the air
force was being fortified in
the state.

He pledged the support of
the state government toward
ensuring the success of the
project and the allocation of
a befitting office site to the
force in the state.
“I am happy that the air
force is re-establishing itself
here in Enugu. We will do
everything possible to keep
you here in Enugu, anything
that will make your stay here
more comfortable,’’ the
governor said. (NAN)
