Speaking at the 60th anniversary celebration parade, aerial display and flying out parade for 30 Air Vice Marshals and nine Air Commodores who are members of 37 and 38 regular course of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Saturday in Kaduna State, the president said the temporary sacrifice would soon come to an end.

President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to be patient in the present economic hardship being faced in the country.



Speaking at the 60th anniversary celebration parade, aerial display and flying out parade for 30 Air Vice Marshals and nine Air Commodores who are members of 37 and 38 regular course of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Saturday in Kaduna State, the president said the temporary sacrifice would soon come to an end.



Tinubu, who was represented by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, also pledged to continue to support the modernisation of the NAF capacities for the betterment of national security.



Shettima, said the theme of the celebration, "NAF at 60: leveraging strategic partnership in aerospace innovations for regional security" was apt as the federal government had made substantial investment in procuring state-of-the-art multi-role combat air attack helicopters and other platforms to enhance NAF’s capabilities.



Commending the aerial display and combat readiness of personnel, he said it attested to their dedication to duty and restated that security was a top priority of his administration, noting that development could not be guaranteed in an insecure environment.



He said, “We have made substantial investment in procuring state-of-the-art multi-role combat air attack helicopters and other platforms that will enhance the NAF’s capabilities. Some of the platforms include surveillance aircrafts, T129 attack helicopters, Augusta 109 multi-role helicopters, Diamond 62 surveillance aircraft, M46 attack aircraft, among others.



“I want to also use this opportunity to call on Nigerians to be more patient with the economic hardship being faced. It is a temporary sacrifice that will come to an end soon.”



He maintained that the best way to understand contemporary security challenges was to adopt a societal approach and promised to continue supporting the NAF and the armed forces in general towards the realisation of the nation’s quest for peace and security.



He then congratulated the NAF on its 60th anniversary, while praying for the repose of the souls of those who paid the supreme price in service to the nation.

Don't worry your tenure is temporary as jungle go soon mature and the people of this great nation will ask you fraudsters to give account of your stolen mandates

Oga ade leave story abeg,things are getting worse by the day,,do the needful ASAP.Stop the sympathetic story nobody dey listen.With the rising cost of living,Nigerians need to make end meet

Thunder ⚡⚡⚡ Fire 🔥🔥🔥 you there 😠

BATeria man

When Nigerians wake up, they know what to do!

Na so dem talk for Bubu era. Dem say na the mess wey PDP cause Dey cause the hardship & the man is trying to clear it. We were told to give him time. They have come again! We no get choice as it were(because we like to suffer and smile) so you still have 3 years to fix it or allow the people choose whoever they want

It's only the masses that should sacrifice while they keep looting and enjoying

Tinubu will be saying this until he reselect himself for a second term nothing will change

I could remember Obasanjo telling us same. Everyone of them told us the suffering is temporary.
It is well sha

Epi npa won. They know people suffering, but pretend Nigeria is no longer bleeding.

The westerners are not yet serious, when they're serious they'll hit the streets with massive protests!

Kindly note that the protest must start from the West, to avoid them calling any region hater of Nigeria and Yorubas!

Tinubu and his south west supporters are shameless

The usual suspects will avoid this thread like corona.

Same story under bubu is being regurgitated by bulaba.
