walemoney007:
the Nigeria army said they have freed this people ,so who are this ones we are seeing
Book haram where not this active when buhari was the president, why have they suddenly became very active when we have an acting President who is a Christian and from the southern part of Nigeria at the helms of affair...hmmm
Boko haram was used by northerners to destabilise the government of GEJ back then,and don't forget buhari said and I quote "An attack on book haram is an attack on the north"

WHY DID THE NIGERIA ARMY HAS TO LIE THAT THEY HAVE FREED THIS PEOPLE?

When there is an abduction like these I always say you wait for both sides ....

sconp:
I thought once to graduate from AFIT you stop being a civilian?

The AFIT is like an higher institution where you can choose to opt out to work else where or you can decide to join the airforce .

NAF DEPLOYS AIR ASSETS, PERSONNEL TO KAFANCHAN TO KEEP PEACE

As part of efforts to ensure lasting peace in Southern Kaduna, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has deployed an armed helicopter with force protection elements and other logistics support to Kafanchan. The deployment, which is at the instance of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, would complement the efforts of the surface forces already on ground to keep peace in the area. The personnel and other supporting staff will operate from a newly established NAF Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Kafanchan and will be reinforced with the NAF Special Forces to protect lives and property towards stopping the incessant clashes in the area.

The NAF also recently deployed air assets and personnel to Takum, Taraba State to maintain peace and provide air cover for the ground troops in the area. It is equally worthy of note that the NAF has made appreciable contributions in different theatres of operations across the country and has also extended its reach. The latest expansion was the commissioning of 213 FOB in Katsina and the Quick Response Wing (QRW) in Daura as part of its continued efforts to extend the reach of the NAF to the Northwest Geopolitical Zone thus reducing the NAF’s response time to crisis situations in the Zone. It will be recalled that lately, Kajuru Local Government in Southern Kaduna erupted in violence due to communal clashes in which lives and properties were lost.

AIR FORCE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GRADUATES 249 STUDENTS


The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna today graduated 249 students in various aerospace engineering and related fields at its 46th Convocation Ceremony. The graduation ceremony, which held in the Institute’s recently commissioned Ibrahim Alfa Auditorium, witnessed the conferment of diplomas and presentation of certificates to graduating students from the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Air Force and civilians. In all, there were 11, 109 and 129 Post Graduate Diploma, Higher National Diploma and National Diploma graduands respectively, out of which 122 were civilians.

Speaking at the convocation ceremony, the Guest of Honour, the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Right Honourable Chibueke Rotimi Amaechi acknowledged the place of AFIT as a trailblazer in West Africa. He recalled, with satisfaction, the feat achieved by the Institute in locally designing and manufacturing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which was successfully test flown, a first in West Africa, among other achievements. He also congratulated the graduating students, urging them to be worthy ambassadors of AFIT for the benefit of Nigeria. In addition, he reserved special praises for the various award winners and requested them to live up to expectation in their future endeavours. Furthermore, Right Honourable Amaechi praised the visionary and sterling leadership qualities of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, whose tenure in office has witnessed a lot of infrastructural and academic developments in AFIT.

In his remarks at the occasion, Air Marshal Abubakar, who is also the Chairman AFIT Governing Council and Visitor to the Institute, enjoined the graduands to be good ambassadors of AFIT, noting that their invaluable contributions would be much appreciated in the fast growing and increasing quest for technological advancement in the NAF and in the country at large. “Let me remind the graduating students that the NAF is currently increasing in size, scope of operations and sophistication in the application of technology. Based on this development, the knowledge you have gained in the past one or two years would definitely be put to task”, he said. He further stated that the graduands would be required to speedily develop proficiency and innovate indigenous ways to maintain platforms and improve on equipment serviceability.

Goodwill messages from other academic institutions delivered to the Institute. After the ceremony, invited guests visited the Institute’s exhibition stand, which featured products of students’ research efforts.

Didn't know we had a Ranger battalion our army. Hope they are as hard as the US army's is said to be.

Army rangers are combination of special operations and elite airborne light infantry. The regiment is flexible, highly trained and rapid light infantry unit specialized to be employed against any special operations targets.Traditionally they are spearheaders, raiders, and scouts, they have adapted to quick response airborne operations. (In contrast, Special Forces handle covert missions).

And most countries have there rangers just like Nigeria. But you know U.S army and some developed European army has a well standard and equipped ranger due to there theatre experience and being well equipped.
