SamuelAnyawu: Seriously, I think the army is in a holding pattern, and gathering equipment and training for the big final push(this is just my reasoning, not a fact), I have tried to gather information no one is talking, even army officers. And I think that big push, would entail taking over lake chad,and maybe incursion into chad 2 Likes 1 Share |

Borno Governor, Zulum donates house, N20m to late Col. D. C. Bako’s widow, orphans Borno Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum on Tuesday announced a donation of a befitting house and 20 million Naira to the widow and orphans left behind by late Col. Dahiru Chiroma Bako who died from wounds sustained while battling boko haram. Insurgents ambushed the Commander’s troop on Sunday morning. Col. Bako, described by Zulum as a fallen warrior, was Commander of 25 Task Force Brigade of Operation Lafiya Dole in charge of Damboa and surrounding axis in southern Borno. He died at a military hospital in Maiduguri on Monday. Zulum, at the burial of the late Commander in Maiduguri on Tuesday, paid glowing tribute and announced house and cash donation to family of the deceased. "Indeed it is a very sad moment, this is not a loss to the family of Late Col. Dahiru Chiroma Bako alone, not to the Nigerian Military, it is a loss to Borno and indeed Nigeria." "Col. Bako was a gallant and dogged military officer, under whose watch Damboa was never defeated. He is humble and committed in discharging his duties, he is part of the success recorded in degrading boko haram insurgency in Borno State." "He has been one of the greatest in trying to stabilize not only Borno but even the neighbouring Yobe State. We will remember his contributions forever, may almighty Allah reward him, and forgive him." "To his family, may Allah give them fortitude to bear this irreparable lost. To all the soldiers and officers of the Nigerian Military that lost their lives, may Almighty Allah reward and forgive them. The injured ones we pray for their quick recovery." "I am reliably informed that Col. Bako did not have a house of his own. We cannot ignore the family he left behind. We share their grief and nothing can equal his life. Nevertheless, I am pleased to announce that Borno State Government will build a befitting house for the family of late Col. Bako. I was also told that the Nigerian Army under the distinguished leadership of Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has offered a scholarship to his children, we will also support the family to compliment the efforts of the military." "For the welfare of his family, Borno State Government will relase the sum of 20 million as support for them. A cheque to the effect will be ready later today or tomorrow morning” Zulum said. The Governor had on Sunday night expressed sadness on the news of Bako’s demise. Zulum described the Commander as one who inspired his troops and led them in the frontline with exceptional courage which was clearly out of pure patriotism. He had also said the death of Bako and heroes like him shall not be in vain. 5 Likes 1 Share

No matter how battle hardened the Colonel is said to be, he never fought alone. Certain things no just make sense. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

NAF IMMORTALIZES LATE FIRST COMBAT HELICOPTER PILOT, FLYING OFFICER TOLULOPE AROTILE, AS CAS COMMISSIONS INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS IN PORT HARCOURT In fulfillment of its promise to honour the memory of Nigeria's first female combat helicopter pilot for her invaluable contributions to the fight against armed banditry and other criminal activities in the Country, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 22 September 2020, immortalized late Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile. The newly renovated and remodeled Pilots’ Crew ‘Room’ at the 115 Special Operations Group (115 SOG) Port Harcourt was named after the late officer who died on 14 July 2020 at the age of 24. The Pilots’ Crew Room houses an Operations briefing room, computer room/library, pilots’ life-support room and lounge as well as a kitchen, dining room, changing room for pilots on standby and several rest rooms. The facility was provided to ensure a conducive environment which would enable pilots to more effectively plan and execute assigned missions. Speaking during the ceremony, which also featured the commissioning of a newly constructed Block of 18 x two-bedroom flats for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs) as well as a water project, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, stated that immortalizing late Flying Officer Arotile was done, not only to honour her memory but also to further inspire young girls in Nigeria to study, work hard and pursue their dreams and legitimate aspirations with pride and honour. “It is gratifying to note that, since late Tolulope’s demise, many young Nigerian girls have indicated their interest to join the NAF. Besides, no fewer than 12 other female officers, who have undoubtedly been motivated by her inspirational life and the unprecedented and exemplary contributions by other female and male pilots, are currently undergoing flying training, both within and outside the Country, to become NAF pilots”, the CAS said. Air Marshal Abubakar noted that immortalizing late Flying Officer Arotile also addressed another area of the NAF’s policy thrust which is the commitment to assure personnel that their sacrifices would never be in vain. According to him, the policy has been sustained through the immortalization of personnel who paid the supreme price in service to the Nation. “The objective has always been to acknowledge their contributions towards securing our Country, while making sure that they and their sacrifices remain forever fresh in our minds and indeed in the minds of Nigerians”, he added. The CAS, who expressed excitement to see some of her colleagues who were at the commissioning to celebrate her memory, noted that late Flying Officer Arotile lives on in the hearts of those coming after her. He encouraged more young girls to aspire for career opportunities in the NAF as he said “there is no limit to what they can achieve”. While expressing his happiness with the performance of the Commander as well as officers and men of the Unit, Air Marshal Abubakar stated that 115 SOG had continued to play a significant role in the NAF’s efforts at tackling insecurity in different parts of the Country. He noted that pilots, engineers, technicians and other support staff of the Group, deployed along with their helicopter gunships, had continued to contribute their quota towards winning the fight against insurgents in the North East as well as against bandits and other criminals in the North West and North Central. The 115 SOG, he said, had also continued to play a key role in dealing with illegal oil bunkering and pipeline vandalism in the South South, working in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies. The CAS recalled that, over the years, 115 SOG had built in-house capacity and shown its capability in the conduct of the first-ever life extension maintenance on 2 x Mi 35P helicopters. Similarly, he said, the Unit, working with technical partners, was able to reactivate 3 x EC-135 helicopters locally. While charging the aircrew and other personnel in Port Harcourt to continue working harder to deal decisively with the enemies of the Nation, the CAS urged them to utilize the new facilities and other welfare projects with a high sense of responsibility. Air Marshal Abubakar expressed his profound gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, for his continued support to the NAF towards the achievement of its desired Air Power goals. He noted that the President’s overwhelming support to the Service was a testament to the fact that the whole Nation stands by the NAF in the fight against all enemies of the Country. “We therefore pledge to remain resolute in the conduct of our operations until peace is restored to every troubled part of the Country”, he said. In his welcome address, the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Tactical Air Command (TAC), Air Vice Marshal Olusegun Philip, noted that the CAS had proved beyond doubt that the welfare of NAF personnel was his topmost priority, as evidenced by his commitment to the provision of infrastructure for their comfort and optimum performance. While thanking the CAS for his constant support, the AOC reassured him of the firm resolve and dedication of personnel to the fight against terrorism, banditry and illegal oil bunkering. “I promise you that we will continue to give you the desired results in all our present and future operations”, the AOC said. Also present at the ceremony were Branch Chiefs and Directors from the NAF Headquarters as well as the General Officer Commanding 6 Division Nigerian Army and other senior military officers. One of the key feature of the event was the presence of some NAF’s female pilots, including Flight Lieutenant Blessing Liman, the first female to be winged as a pilot in the NAF, as well as Flying Officers Genevieve Nwaogwugwu, Olubunmi Ijelu, Kafayat Sanni, first fixed-wing fighter pilot in the NAF, and Chinelo Nwokoye, NAF’s second-ever combat helicopter pilot.

AIRING OF DOCUMENTARY: “NIGERIAN AIR FORCE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT: BUILDING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE CAPABILITIES FOR ENHANCED NATIONAL SECURITY” In furtherance of the capacity building initiatives of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, as well as in compliance with Presidential Executive Order No 5, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has progressively built local capacity for the conduct of major aircraft maintenance activities, including Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) of various aircraft types in its inventory. As a result, the Service has reactivated over 20 erstwhile unserviceable aircraft and in the process raised the serviceability of operable platforms from about 35% in 2015 to the current level of over 80%. Please watch the compelling documentary, titled “Nigerian Air Force Capacity Development: Building Aircraft Maintenance Capabilities for Enhanced National Security”, that highlights these achievements. It will be aired on TVC (Available on DSTV Channel 418, GoTV Channel 45 or via other TVC authorized platforms) on Wednesday, 23 September 2020, from 9pm to 9.30pm.

LANDMARK NAVAL VESSEL CONSTRUCTION Naval Dockyard Limited have carved a niche in ship building technology. A vast community of dedicated Naval and civilian Engineers using technology to transform their country. NDL the only shipyard in West Africa that deals with military vessels construction. A high-grade Seaward Defence boat of intricate nature that goes as far as 40 nautical miles beyond the continental shelf which is 350 nautical miles. The Seaward Defence boats goes that far linking the offshore petrol vessels. An interface with short fast attacks crafts that can be used for quick reactions. The idea behind this conception began in 2007 when NDL ventured into the act of building their own vessel instead of buying to reduce cost. It was not a military vessel at the time, but a cruise vessel named ‘SOKALAFIA’. Conceived and built at the Naval shipyard in Port Harcourt. The cruise vessel could ferry 90 personnel from their workplaces to the Navy town along the coast. It became evidence at that point that venturing into building military vessels was possible. And in 2009 the first in the Seaward Defence Series (SDB), a 30m vessel was successfully built and launched in 2011 called NNS ANDONI (P-100). In its effort to improve on SDB I, the Nigerian Navy desired having a bigger vessel as an improvement in its building capacity. This was how NNS KARADUWA (P-102) a 38m vessel, a lift jump from the 30m SDB 1 was built. Both vessels are still operating optimally at sea. The Nigerian Navy is presently at the verge of launching another vessel and expands their fleet. One made of steel, an advancement in its shipbuilding technologies. 1 Like |

SDB 3 Building Underway In Naval Dockyard Limited The Nigerian Navy over the decade develop expertise and embarked on design/building of ship and craft. With the present class of the Seaward Defence Boat (SDB3) which is a 43m steel vessel, a shift from aluminium to steel, therefore, the need for critical thinking in terms of Naval architectural design unlike what is common in this region of having ships made of Glass Reinforced Plastic and Aluminium. The research of being all steel vessel was particularly critical now because the SDB3 is the largest of the series and meant to be the best judging by what her roles are supposed to be. Most of her resources are steel, generated at NDL. The Hull is already completed and advancing into the outfitting stage with most of the outfitting equipment on ground. SDB3 is going to be quite appealing with sophisticated trappings 4 Likes |
