MAIDEN OPERATIONAL VISIT: CAS INSPECTS ONGOING
PROJECTS IN KAINJI, GOMBE SAYS LOCATIONS READY TO
RECEIVE SUPER TUCANO, UAVs ON SCHEDULE
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Vice Marshal (AVM)
Oladayo Amao, has commended the pace of work on
ongoing infrastructural development projects at the 407 Air
Combat Training Group (407 ACTG), Nigerian Air Force
(NAF) Base Kainji, Niger State, which are being emplaced to
accommodate the 12 x A-29 Super Tucano aircraft when
they arrive Nigeria. The CAS equally expressed some
degree of satisfaction with the progress of work on ongoing
projects at the 109 Combat Reconnaissance Group (109
CRG, formerly known as 203 CRG) NAF Gombe, which is to
serve as the Base for the Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles
(UCAVs) ordered by the Federal Government from China.
AVM Amao made these known today, 3 March 2021, while
on his maiden operational visit to the NAF Bases in Kainji
and Gombe.
Speaking after the inspection/assessment tour of projects
in Kainji, which include the ongoing construction of 3 blocks
of 10 single-bedroom Single Officers’ Quarters (SOQ), one
block of 6 x three-bedroom Married Officers’ Quarters
(MOQ) as well as a block of 30 x single-bedroom Transit
Accommodation for Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs),
AVM Amao expressed delight at the commendable pace of
work. The CAS, who also inspected work on the arming
bays, apron and other projects being executed by
contractors assigned by the United States Government,
stated that it was very clear that all was being done to
ensure that virtually all the infrastructure required to
accommodate the Super Tucano aircraft would be in place
prior to their arrival by the middle of 2021.
Before departing Kainji, the CAS held an interactive session
with the officers, airmen and airwomen, where he urged
them to remain disciplined and unwavering in their
commitment to duty. He also advised them to always be
security conscious whilst contributing their quota towards
ensuring that the NAF ‘enhances and sustains critical
airpower capabilities required for joint force employment in
pursuit of national security imperatives. The CAS also
entertained questions and received feedback as well as
suggestions from the personnel on how to move the
Service forward for more effective and efficient service
delivery.
In Gombe, the CAS was received on arrival by the Deputy
Governor of the State, Dr Manasseh Daniel Jatau, and the
Secretary to the State Government, Professor Ibrahim
Abubakar Njodi, amongst other State Government Officials;
after which he proceeded to inspect ongoing infrastructural
development at 109 CRG, including the Taxiways, Apron,
Aircraft Shelters, Bulk Fuel Installation (BFI), Ammunition
Dump, Access Roads as well as Office and Residential
Accommodations.
Speaking after the inspection of the facilities, the CAS, while
thanking the Gombe State Government for not only
allocating the 230 Hectares and providing other forms of
support towards the speedy establishment of 109 CRG,
noted that much still needed to be done to make the Base
ready to receive the UCAVs, which he said would soon be
arriving the Country. He remarked that, aside the currently
completed and other ongoing projects, there was need for
the NAF and Gombe State Government to jointly work
towards connecting the Base to the national grid whilst
also commencing work on the construction of the access
road to the Base.
In his remarks, the Gombe State Deputy Governor, Dr
Manasseh Jatau, expressed extreme delight at the speed
at which the NAF was developing facilities at NAF Base
Gombe, remarking that it was nothing short of
extraordinary. He equally expressed appreciation to the
NAF for the medical outreach conducted for host
communities in the Akko-Gona Emirate area of the State in
October 2020, barely 2 months after the establishment and
groundbreaking ceremony of the NAF Unit. He noted that
the outreach benefitted members of the affected
communities immensely and pledged that the State
Government, on its part, would continue to do its best to
support the NAF towards the ultimate goal of improving
security in the State and indeed the entire North East.
The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by some
Branch Chiefs and Directors from Headquarters NAF, has
returned to Abuja.

If not for the NAF that do clean up the mess of the NA, shekarau will be chewing Pako in Aso rock by now, why backing up the reason he is killing Christians with quote from the Qur'an.

If it was Buratai, he will tell us is tactical withdrawal while he will be searching for the soldiers in secret.

All of those people there and not a single one of them could ask him if it is federal or state or local government supplying them. Or who their connect is. If I was there, I would make sure he states in clear terms the exact people supplying them. Like why wouldn't I grab every opportunity to expose my enemy?
