NIGERIAN ARMY ASSURES UNIMAID OF SECURITY SUPPORT

The Nigerian Army has assured Univeristy of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) of security support. The Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Ibrahim Manu Yusufu gave this affirmation when he paid a courtesy call on the Vice Chancellor, UNIMAID, Professor Ibrahim Yusuf Abubarka Njodi at his office in Maiduguri Borno State. The GOC who was accompany on the visit by commanders and some principal staff officers from Headquarters 7 Division assured the VC of adequate security for the University community. He sympathized with the University on the recent suicide bomber attacks on the University. He commended the staff and the VC for holding forth during the trial period.

The GOC also commended the VC for not closing the University as doing that will have scored a cheap point to the perpetrators of the act while calling the university community to provide security agencies with relevant information that will aid them in the stemming the tide of suicide bomb attacks.

The Vice Chancellor in his response assured the GOC of the University’s support in the ongoing war against insurgency. He attributed the recent relative peace enjoyed within the University after of high spate of suicide bombings to Nigerian Army doggedness and professional display in securing the University, Maiduguri metropolis in particular and Borno State in general.

Exactly. I saw a Mi-24/35 then the video moved to a the Alpha Jet firing rockets at BHT position.

Anyway, NAF should try and sweep road before such escort next time.

That road was obviously not safe because I don't expect BHT to be able to move around with technical in such area.

They started shooting immediately after the Military convoy passed.

In such circumstances there is nothing you can do, probably there Intel paid off and gas we can see they laid an ambush.

Saw the video of BHT attacking the NA NPF convoy. It was nice to see BHT recording NAF firing at their own position. However due to civilians hostages already taken, I guess that was why NAF was unable to do much.

Heap have seeing it too, BHT using the captured women has shield. Nice intelligent gathering by the NAF .

DICON Boosts Army Infantry School




Nigerian Army School of Infantry Commandant Brig-Gen. J. Sarham has reiterated that the school would always explore possible areas of collaboration with the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON).
Brig-Gen. Sarham said the school was one of the stakeholders as well as benefactors of the corporation’s products.
He stressed that NASI has benefited much from the premier defence industry.
The commandant, who spoke when he visited DICON headquarters, Kaduna, noted that he was delighted with the success stories emanating from DICON, especially in the area of fabrication of new spare parts for the back-loaded weapons from the theatres of operation across the country, especially the Northeast, through reverse engineering.
He said the Director General of DICON, Maj-Gen. Bamidele Ogunkale mentored him as a cadet in the Nigerian Defence Academy and he was quite abreast of his antecedent as a trail-blazer. He added that he could not assume new office in Jaji, without paying him homage.
According to him, he would always capitalize on the proximity of Jaji to Kaduna to constantly solicit the support and tutelage of the DG, gleaning from his wealth of experience.
“I was in the Northeast for a period and it is true that the Electronic Jammer and the Integrated Reinforced Obstacle Belt (IROB) patented by General Ogunkale, which were launched into the theatre of operation, dramatically changed the narratives of the fight against the insurgents for good,” he said.
He noted that DICON was being looked upon as home of research and technology, hence the need for NASI to always come to the corporation for solution.
According to Brig-Gen. Sarham, there could be no business in the School of Infantry without definite assistance from the premier industry.
Maj-Gen. Ogunkale gave a detailed brief of the current activities of DICON, noting that in the past, the perception of some members of the public was that the corporation produce only furniture.
According to him, when the production of military products were at the low owing to break down of machines or low patronage, excess capacity from the wood factory established solely to produce rifle butts as well as ammunition boxes for packaging was used to produce furniture.
He stressed that the corporation was able to offset bills through that, while at the same time, carrying out civil function in aid to civil authority.
He added that DICON was taking some giant strides through reverse engineering, adding that many repairs have been carried out for the army and Airforce.
He promised to send a team to NASI, who would assess their area of need before swinging into action.

NAF TO SUPPLY OXYGEN TO GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS IN ADAMAWA STATE

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has disclosed the plan of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to supply oxygen to government hospitals in Adamawa State. He made the disclosure while commissioning the new Liquid Oxygen (LOX) plant at the NAF Base in Yola today, 10 July 2017. The idea of building the LOX plant was mooted in 2016 by Air Marshal Abubakar to solve the perennial difficulty being experienced in supplying LOX for use by NAF fighter pilots, who require it especially for high altitude operations. The plant in Yola has the capacity to produce liquid and gaseous oxygen, in addition to nitrogen, another gas needed for the maintenance of aircraft.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the CAS stated that the LOX plant had the capacity to produce 1,000 litres of oxygen every 8 hours, which is in excess of the NAF’s requirements for its air operations and for use in its medical centres across the nation. Accordingly, the CAS has directed appropriate officials to work out the modality for the supply of the excess oxygen to government hospitals in Adamawa State, including the Federal Medical Centre Yola. Air Marshal Abubakar seized the opportunity to appreciate the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration, without which the project would not have become a reality.

In his remarks, the Guest of Honour at the occasion, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Senator Umaru Jibrilla Bindo, expressed joy at the siting of the project in the State. He was also full of praises for Air Marshal Abubakar, who according to him had added a lot of value to the Adamawa society. Senator Bindo further stated that he was in awe of the legacy being left by the CAS through the numerous projects being commissioned to enhance the operational capability of the NAF.

The Lamido of Adamawa, his royal highness, Dr Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musadafa as well as heads of military and paramilitary/security agencies in Adamawa State, also witnessed the ceremony. The LOX plant has already commenced production.

nemesis2u:
dont know about that one

SU 30 r expensive to operate , approx 16000-20,000 dollars per flight hour , so it kind of makes sense with lesser no of flights being conducted barring those required for maintaining pilot proficiency.

the annual flying hours per pilot will give clear idea,

Why buy them in the first place if it will be that expensive to operate. That's why I like our top brass they like too much cheap things ......
