NAF COMMISSIONS HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX, OTHER PROJECTS AT INSTITUTE OF SAFETY IN KADUNA

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), as part of its commitment to reposition the NAF into a highly professional force for effective service delivery, today, 25 May 2018, commissioned the Headquarters Complex and residential quarters for the Commandant, officers and airmen/airwomen of the NAF Institute of Safety (NAFIS) in Rigachikun Area of Kaduna. Also commissioned today were 2 x blocks of students’ hostels, 11 boreholes, a water station integrated with 300,000 litres ground tank and 100,000 litres overhead tank, auxiliary 6 x 3,000 litres reservoirs, 1.1 km asphalted road and over 2.2km drainage system. NAFIS was established to provide safety training and education to NAF personnel and students of other nationalities and international aviation organizations. With today’s commissioning, NAFIS now has a befitting permanent location and is set to properly focus on the conduct of a more comprehensive and inclusive safety training for NAF personnel, sister Services, other security Services, ministries, departments and agencies of the 3 tiers of government as well as non-governmental organizations, within and outside Nigeria.

While commissioning the new facilities, the Guest of Honour and former Director General of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), retired Air Vice Marshal Muhammad Audu-Bida, stated that the decision of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, to embark on such a massive project attests to his infrastructural development drive across the NAF. He therefore commended the NAF leadership for being able to execute projects nationwide while still keeping its aircraft flying. He further stated that the efforts of the CAS in creating a conducive environment for the conduct of safety courses at NAFIS is in tandem with the policy directive of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, to ensure that members of the armed forces are well trained. He recalled that, in the past, NAF officers were usually sent overseas to attend safety courses at huge costs to the nation. He therefore praised the NAF leadership for ensuring the full establishment of NAFIS, as the nation stood to gain a lot from foreign exchange savings while still adequately providing safety training.

In his remarks, the CAS stated that the establishment of the NAFIS has brought security closer to the residents of Rigachikun and its environs while also creating employment opportunities for the locals. According to Air Marshal Abubakar, the commissioning was made possible by the immense support the NAF has been enjoying from the Federal Government. The CAS therefore, expressed the profound gratitude of the NAF to President Buhari and reminded personnel to justify the enormous resources being expended on the Service. According to him, “In particular, you have a responsibility to ensure adequate and sustained maintenance of the various infrastructure in all our barracks. As a Service, we must strive to meet the expectations of the country at this time of insecurity by protecting the citizenry and our critical assets as well as bringing succour to the despaired as we discharge our constitutional responsibilities to the nation”.

In his welcome address, the Commandant of the Institute, Air Commodore Edward Adedokun, recalled the myriad of challenges that had militated against the actualization of the Institutes objectives noting that there has been a great departure from the stagnated posture of the Institute since the present leadership of the NAF came on board almost 3 years ago. The flagship course of the Institute is the Flight Officers’ Safety Course for pilots and flight engineers. The Institute also runs Occupational Health and Safety Course for personnel from various disciplines including administrators, intelligence operators, police, technicians, finance specialists, Works personnel and several others.

LOYOLA JESUIT STUDENTS URGED TO CONSIDER MILITARY CAREER

The Acting Chief of Defence Civil Military Cooperation (CDCMC), Air Vice Marshal (AVM) ABC Nweze has advised the students of Loyola Jesuit College Abuja, to consider in the career military to enable them contribute their quota in defending the territorial integrity of the country.

AVM Nweze, gave the advice recently when he played host to the Junior Secondary School (JSS) three students of the college, who were on a career excursion to the Defence Headquarters (DHQ).

This is part of efforts aimed at preparing them for career prospects as they commenced their Senior Secondary education next academic session. Meanwhile, the visit to DHQ was to inspire the students to choose a career in the military while gaining firsthand knowledge on the constitutional roles of the Armed Forces.

The CDCMC, who represented the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Gabriel Abayomi Olonisakin, encouraged the students to join the military which he said is a noble profession, with lots of benefits.

He added that serving the nation through the military is a patriotic duty. He described the major task of the Armed Forces to include defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity and providing aid to civil authority. “We have great fulfilment on our part to secure lives and properties. It is our responsibility to protect the integrity of Nigeria,’’ AVM Nweze said.

Earlier in her remark, the College Guardian and Counsellor, Revered Sister Maureen Obineze, who led the students and other staff members, said that it was customary for students of JSS 3 to embark on career excursion to organizations like the military, with a view to drive their passion in any profession.

She commended the selfless sacrifices of the military towards national security while expressing her appreciation to the CDS for the warm reception accorded the students.

During the excursion, the students were enlightened on the roles and responsibilities of DHQ, its organizational structure, operational activities of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and a brief career talk on the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force.

The students were informed about the enlistment and recruitment into the commissioned and non-commissioned officers’ cadres. They were equally told that discipline is the bedrock of the military and were encouraged to develop passion for the Armed Forces as a patriotic Nigerian.

INTENDED MALICIOUS REPORT BY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ON THE NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES

The Nigerian Military has received credible intelligence report of a plan by Amnesty International (AI) to release a false report on fictitious rape incidents in IDP camps in the North East region of Nigeria. This malicious trend by AI is becoming a frequent ritual and it is rather unfortunate. In times like this, Amnesty International is expected to apply the natural law of liaison by working with security agencies as partners. This would have been the best way to ensure that insurgency and crisis is completely wiped off rather than engaging in falsehood, maligning the military and painting her in bad light at any slight opportunity.

The Nigerian Military wishes to use this medium to reiterate her commitment to the citizens of our dear nation, that it will abide by all Human Rights Regulations as entered into by Nigeria and also go the extra mile in ensuring that the territorial integrity of our nation is well protected. However, the Nigerian Military admonishes AI to desist from cooking reports from time to time to demoralize the entire military system and the nation as a whole whose troops are sacrificing their lives in the fight against Boko Haram and other enemies of the country. These false reports which are capable of derailing the good work being done by our patriotic and selfless soldiers must stop.

Kindly note that we are not in any way implying that AI should not do their job, but such must be done with a level of integrity and credibility by seeking clarification when the need arises. This way a lot will be achieved as both will form partners in the fight against extremism and other vices.
The Defence Headquarters therefore, urge all law abiding citizens to continue to trust and support the military in the ongoing war against Boko Haram and go about their normal lawful business.

Thank you.
