NAF begins construction of permanent base in Enugu


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Saturday said work has commenced on the construction of a permanent base for officers and men in Emene near Enugu metropolis.

The Commander, NAF Base Services Group, Enugu, Air Commodore Ebenezer Alade, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu that the move would further boost the morale of officers in Enugu.

Alade commended President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for the special attention given to NAF officers and men in Enugu.

“The vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, is being felt in all units and formations of the NAF, and for us in Enugu, we bear testimony of that vision.

“We are all excited about the construction of our permanent base in Emene near Enugu.

“We are also happy that Enugu has become a re-occurring decimal in the agenda of the Chief of the Air Staff,” the NAF commander told NAN.

Alade, who, however, did not mention the cost of the ongoing project, said a team of officers from NAF headquarters recently inspected sports facilities in Enugu toward the conduct of NAF Games later in the year.

“All these are pointers to the strategic importance of Enugu to the NAF family,” he added.

Nice one. Keep up the good works FG.

NAF permanent base in the South East? Why didn't their adopted son, the ineffectual buffoon do this? Buhari is marginalizing the North.

Why r you such a dunce?

Which NAF base again please? It's different from the present one at Abakpa along the Expressway? Anyway it'll be a welcomed development as the Enugu base needs to be like the 442 NAF base Ikeja.

Same way PMB is going to build the 2nd NB their ineffectual buffoon and the worthless PDP they've been following for 16 long years and still following refused to build...

So many dumb people on this forum,

Buhari is preparing for war in the east and most of you are here spewing trash.

How will a permanent air base contribute to the economy of South East?

Why not enugu/Onitsha expressway, and that of enugu/porthacourt, why not the coal fired power plant he promised during the campaign, why not the expansion of owerri cargo airport why not the inland port at Onitsha and aba. Etc



I just pray that God will keep Buhari alive to see what becomes of the igbos.

If this was sited in the NORTH, the bigots and hate mongers go yell and cry that everything is going to the North and they are islimizing Nigeria, but in the SE, its they are preparing for war...

You seem to be the dumb and confused one. Which war is your hate-filled mind envisaging? You think war is beans? There is not going to be any war, except the sustenance of ongoing war on corruption.

All the projects you mentioned are worthy and viable projects which the Fg has considered. But you must be highly shortsighted to think they can all be done at once.

The road projects were covered in this year's budget including the 2nd Niger bridge.

You seem to deliberately claim ignorance of the rail project which will transverse notables SS states including Aba & Onitsha.

God will definitely keep PMB alive to see the success of all Nigerian ethnic groups including the Igbos.

This is pathetic of you! What is the big deal in biulding a base in Enugu when Kaduna alone has many of such and others exist all over the country? No wonder the Biafrexit ranks are swelling everyday, the hate against them is too much!

'No one is preparing for war' even when our president has vowed to rather drown in the ocean than give biafra a chance.



No one is asking the government to do all at once but

WHY NOT START WITH THE ONES THAT WILL REASSURE THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF THE ONE THAT WILL INCREASE THEIR SUSPICIONS AND PROVOKE MORE HATRED.


WITH REGARDS TO THE RAIL PROJECT ;

YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MAP

You guys need to chill and give the President a chance. Stop this unnecessary suspicion. If the news had been, that the airforce is building a permanent base in Kano, I can imagine what people like u will say.

I can imagine the abuses and sarcasms you will utter. Now that the case is that it is being constructed in Enugu, you are still insinuating and making unfavourable conjectures. You guys are unbelievable!

Of course I have seen the map of the proposed railway. If you are looking at it superficially, and from a layman's perspective, you'll conclude that it is not supposed to pass through Aba and Onitsha.

But the railway is not a decoration. It is to transport goods and persons and foster economic growth.

On this basis therefore, it makes so much sense to ensure it passes through the highly economic cities of Aba and Onitsha. And the proponents of the project has confirmed to us that the route will include these two cities. I don't really know why you have an issue with that.

If they didn't make those cities to be part of the train route, you'll have a conspiracy theory to Web on divide and rule through the instrumentality of the SS states, now that it is clearly stated that the cities are part of the route, you still have something to say.

Oga you better free yourself
