but how did we get to this point ?
Does any security agency or government org in Nigeria have a rough estimate of small arms proliferation in the region so we can cross out the arms recovered and have an idea of how much progress has been made.

Where's the main presidential jet?

NPF CTU. I have been observing their presence with VIPs nowadays. What happened to only SPU?

lol I met some NPF CTU guys on my way to Abeokuta from Ibadan. They were also collecting 50 naira. However, I was impressed by their intelligence and searching. I engaged some of them and they seemed to know what they were doing.

Estimate ke...To supplement the well known brand (AK,FAL etc) these idiots use,there is a stream of locally made guns too.
Do we then say the blacksmiths are a problem in Nigeria or we clamp down on them too?. I don taya

While in Nigeria, I noticed then around Ibadan to Ijebu Ode. I think it's the same route we're talking about.

The guys do their search very well. Unlike others who are there just there for the money. There are alot of police checkpoints along that route. They seem more educated compared to the Mopol on the road who couldn't read the Nigerian police xoxoxoxo unit on the vehicle. The officer bashed our vehicle with his gun making us to park. At that moment, others were like can't you see what's written on the vehicle and the officer could only pronounce the word police from write up.

I don't know how the Nigerian police deployed her officers but I have seen a whole squad of Mopol made up of educated officers with good kit but they're only deployed as escort for senior officers / special operations.

I think that route and a lot of Ogun state roads are smuggling hotspots. The CTU guys were a stand out from all the police check points there. I counted up to 19 police checkpoints on a 60km road. It was the CTU guys who were more thorough in searching the vehicle. When I was returning same day, I met the same team and they chatted really well based on recognision, but still searched us well.

The future is those CTU guys or at least MOPOLS should get similar training.

If only selection & employment of MOPOL was more thorough and well thought out life would have been so much bearable

The concept of the mobile police has been bastardised.
IMO it should be scrapped and decentralized into specific units with a new doctrine and specific functions. The Coin guys are better off and can stay.
Aside those attached to CTU, SPU and other units which I don't know, the rest are just MOPOLS with no main specific functions. This is one reason why its hard to have them maintain discipline.

NAF GRADUATES PIONEER AB-INITIO STUDENT PILOTS TRAINED WITH SUPER MUSHSHAK AIRCRAFT, COMMISSIONS NEW HANGAR

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 11 May 2018 graduated the first set of 18 ab-initio student pilots trained with the recently acquired Super Mushshak aircraft. Besides, another set of 26 student pilots was inaugurated during the ceremony, which took place at 401 Flying Training School, NAF Base, Kaduna. Speaking during the colourful ceremony, the Guest of Honour, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was represented by the Chief of Training and Operations at Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Nurudeen Balogun, stated that the graduation of Student Pilot Course (SPC) 43 and the inauguration of SPC 45 are indications of the premium placed on the realization of the CAS Vision’s cardinal driver, which is human capacity development.

The CAS stated that the event was epochal because the graduating officers were the first set to be trained on the new aircraft. According to him, the design of the aircraft and its modern digital glass cockpit configuration makes it a choice for quality ab-initio training of military aviators. He further disclosed that the training was completed less than one year after the aircraft was inducted into service, an indication that the investment of tax payers money on the acquisition of the Super Mushshak aircraft was already yielding dividend. Air Marshal Abubakar revealed that the student pilots would undergo further training on high performance aircraft so that the NAF would have more pilots to deploy to various theatres of operation. He reiterated the commitment of the current NAF leadership to continue supporting and encouraging flying training schools in producing pilots for the NAF. The CAS congratulated the students for their resilience and discipline during the course and urged them to sustain same attributes as they continue the next phase of their military flying training.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander 401 Flying Training School, Group Captain Yusuf Dari, stated that the School had, since inception, trained over 800 pilots for the NAF, Nigerian Navy and other sister African countries starting with SPC 1. Notable among them are the present CAS and Chief of Naval Staff. He stated that from its inception, the School had used many trainer aircraft types for the training of pilots. However, the configuration of the Super Mushshak aircraft would enhance transition to higher performance aircraft as well as lay good foundation for pilots that would be type-rated on fighter aircraft.

The course started with a 12 week ground academic phase to prepare the students for the flying phase. During the ensuing flying phase, the students were taught aerobatics, among others, to introduce them to extreme altitudes and develop their skills to retain the control of the aircraft under all conditions. One of the graduating student pilots was a female officer. The highlight of the occasion was the presentation of awards to Flying Officer AM Alkali, who carted away all the available awards namely Best in Academics, Best in Flying and Best All Round.

In a related development, a befitting hangar and a 5,900 square meters apron for the Super Mushshak aircraft was commissioned to protect the aircraft from the elements and maximize its use for the years to come. The occasion was attended by the Air Officers Commanding Air and Ground Training Commands, Commanders of co-located Units in Kaduna as well as the representative of the Director General of Nigerian Airspace Management Agency and an official from Dornier AIEP Limited.
