NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FLAGS OFF 3-DAY MEDICAL OUTREACH PROGRAMME FOR IDPS IN BENUE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on 26 March 2018, flagged off a 3-day Medical Outreach Programme for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at the Abagana-Agan IDP camp in Benue State. This followed a directive by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for the NAF Medical Services Branch to conduct the medical outreach for IDPs in the area so as to alleviate their sufferings. Services to be provided during the medical outreach include primary healthcare and curative services, general and eye surgeries, mass deworming as well as provision of medicated glasses and insecticide treated mosquito nets.

While speaking during the flagging off ceremony, the Executive Governor of Benue State, Doctor Samuel Ortom, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Cecilia Omaile Ojabo, lauded the NAF for coming to the aid of IDPs in the State. She noted that the medical intervention by the NAF would go a long way to alleviate the sufferings of the about 170,000 IDPs in the area.

Earlier in his remarks, the CAS, who was represented by the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command (AOC TAC) Makurdi, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, reiterated that the NAF is always mindful and committed towards alleviating health challenges of IDPs in the State and in Nigeria as a whole. At the end of the outreach, it is projected that about 4,450 IDPs would have been treated while 70 to 100 general and eye surgeries would have been conducted. The Agan IDP Camp has a population of over 20,000 persons. The NAF medical team is expected back in Abuja on 29 March 2018.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE HOLDS 2018 FIRST QUARTER ROUTE MARCH EXERCISE ACROSS COMMANDS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has held its first quarter 2018 Route March Exercise for its personnel. The Exercise, which took place simultaneously across all the 6 Commands on 24 March 2018, is part of the efforts by the NAF to ensure constant physical fitness of its personnel to tackle various security challenges. The route march, which is a quarterly exercise, is also aimed at keeping NAF personnel physically fit and mentally strong for effective and efficient performance of their statutory role. The Exercise was led by the respective Air Officers Commanding (AOCs) in the various NAF Commands.

In his remarks to personnel after the exercise, the AOC Tactical Air Command (TAC) Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Oladayo Amao, stated that the quarterly exercise was organized for the purpose of ensuring the physical fitness and wellbeing of personnel. According to him, “we need to be physically and mentally fit at all times to perform our military duties”. He noted that the Exercise is in line with the vision of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) "to reposition the NAF into highly professional and discipline force through capacity building initiatives for effective, efficient and timely deployment of Air Power in response to Nigeria's national security imperatives". He charged personnel to always be physically fit and combat ready to defend the territorial integrity of the country any time they were called upon. "If you train hard in peace time, you will bleed less in war time”, the AOC said.

In Bayelsa, the AOC Mobility Command, AVM Stephen Onuh commended officers and airmen/airwomen who participated in the Exercise for their active performance. He pointed out that with the successful conduct of the Route March, the Command had activated its personnel ahead of the NAF Inter Command Combat Sports Competition slated to hold in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State from 2 to 7 April 2018. He therefore charged participants to take physical fitness exercise seriously to enable them train actively to achieve an excellent outing during the forthcoming combat sports competition.

AVM Ismaila Kaita, the AOC Special Operations Command, Bauchi, charged personnel on the need to ensure physical fitness at all times especially now that the country faces several security challenges. He then urged them to remain loyal to the constituted authority as they carry out their statutory responsibility. In his remarks, the AOC Air Training Command, Kaduna, AVM Mohammed Idris, stated that only mentally and physically sound personnel could tackle the security challenges in the country. He reiterated that training is an ongoing thing, which requires all NAF personnel to maintain a high degree of fitness and capability. According to the AOC, “while our colleagues are in the frontline fighting against the enemies of the State to ensure peace in the country, we will be here training hard to replace them. We will train hard to ensure that the security of the country comes first”, he said.

While addressing NAF personnel at the end of the exercise, the AOC Ground Training Command, Enugu, AVM Sampson Akpasa said that the exercise was to keep NAF personnel combat ready. According to him, “a soldier that is not fit cannot perform satisfactorily, especially during emergencies”. The AOC also added that physical fitness was a prerequisite for successful operation within and outside the country. In Ikeja, the AOC Logistics Command, AVM Remigus Ekeh, charged personnel to continue to participate regularly in various sporting activities to ensure their combat readiness for effective service delivery and survival in national security operations. “Constant physical exercise is for your wellbeing and for us to be physically and mentally fit at all times to perform our duties”. The AOC commended the massive turnout of both officers and men while reiterating that continuous sporting activities are indispensable for personnel to keep fit and continuously equip them for success and survival in any security operations.

The participation of other security agencies, in addition to the NAF personnel and Youth Corps members, added colour to the Exercise, in all the Commands.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE AIRLIFTS NIGERIAN ARMY, NAVY TROOPS IN SUPPORT OF ECOWAS MISSION IN GAMBIA

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on, 25 March 2018, airlifted Nigerian Army (NA) and Nigerian Navy (NN) contingents to The Gambia in pursuance of the ongoing ECOWAS Mission in Gambia (ECOMIG). The troops who were airlifted by the NAF C-130 Hercules Aircraft included officers, soldiers and ratings from 351 Artillery Regiment NA as well as from the Special Boat Services of the NN. The troops and other equipment deployed for the operation were airlifted from the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja to Banjul in The Gambia. The NAF aircraft is also expected to recover home the Nigerian contingent that had completed their 6 months tour of duty in The Gambia as stipulated for troop’s rotation in the ECOMIG Operation.

It would be recalled that the NAF was the first to deploy to The Gambia in January 2017 as part of the standby force tasked by ECOWAS Heads of State to enforce the December 1, 2016 election mandate, which restored Adama Barrow as President. The NAF deployed 200 men and air assets comprising fighter jets, transport aircraft, light utility helicopters as well as Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. The NAF’s timely intervention served as deterrence to the former President Yahya Jammeh who then relinquished power on 21 January 2017 thus paving way for the restoration of democracy in the country.
