ARTICLE
Nigeria received two Sukhoi Su-30 multirole fighters earlier this year and will receive another 10 in 2018, the Sputnik news agency reported a senior Russian official as saying on 26 June.
"In 2018, Russia will supply 10 Su-30 aircraft. Thus, the contract will be completed by the end of next year," said Anatoliy Punchuk, the deputy director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC).
The report did not identify the Su-30 variant that was being acquired by Nigeria, which was not previously known to be interested in the aircraft. The Nigerian Air Force was known to be lining up the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) JF-17 Thunder, but the finalisation of that deal has yet to be confirmed.

RE-DISINFORMATION ABOUT THE MILITARY COUNTER TERRORISM TROOPS TRAINED IN PAKISTAN

1. The Defence Headquarters wishes to correct the disinformation about the counter terrorism troops trained in Pakistan recently. A voice clip in one of the major languages of the country has been in circulation on the social media with the summary as follows; “The disinformer claimed to be in Pakistan where he saw about 1000 Nigerian troops selected from a particular region in Nigeria graduating after their special training, with the directive to come back home to kill Nigerians of a particular tribe”. It is an incitive, untrue and unverified lie against the Armed Forces of Nigeria, targeted as discrediting the capacity building effort of the Military.

2. Operationally, the Armed Forces of Nigeria is poised on building its capacity to meet the contemporary security challenges in the country. This is being done with other countries with similar security challenges of which Pakistan is one. Hence, the collaboration with Pakistan for the training of additional counter terrorist troops in addition to own local training efforts. It is instructive to clearly state that;

a. The Nigerian troops that trained as a unit on counter terrorism in Pakistan were drawn from the Nigerian Army, Navy and Airforce, in line with the concept of the force generation.

b. The personnel cut across all the religions as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution.

c. All the geopolitical zones and major tribes in Nigeria are represented in the composition of the unit, as usual with the Nigerian Military.
d. It is not an isolated training programme but an existing and continuous exercise.

3. The Defence Headquarters therefore, reassures all Nigerians that, the Armed Forces of Nigeria is non sectional, regional or tribal. The military is ever ready to protect the lives and property of all in the Country. Hence, the ill motivated voice clip should be disregarded.

RE-HOW SERVICE CHIEFS ILLEGALLY EXTEND MILITARY CAREERS OF COURSE MATES

The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to a news item making rounds in the media captioned “How Service Chiefs Illegally Extend Military Careers of Course Mates”. Thus, it has become necessary to clear this issue that was addressed particularly to the Nigerian Army, Navy and Airforce. It cited Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS), 2012, Paragraph 02: 10 (b) as justification for the assertion, which is a tabulation of the conditions relating to the length of service of a commissioned officer of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. However, it failed to give insight into other sections of the Paragraph that borders specifically on extension of service for a commissioned officer.

In view of this kind of an unbalanced publication, the Defence Headquarters wishes to posit that; Paragraph 02:10 (d) of Armed Forces of Nigeria, Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service, officers, 2012 is clear on the considerations for extending the length of service for officers, which are summarized as follows:

An officer’s career can be extended based on the interest of the Service, in this case, Army, Navy and Airforce.
In very exceptional cases, an officer’s Career can be extended beyond one year for as long as necessary.
Extension of service for officers can only be approved by the Service council/board comprising the Honourable Minister of Defence, Chief of Defence Staff, the service Chief, Service Director at Ministry of Defence and Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence.

Extension of service for officers can also be at the discretion of the Commander in Chief.
From the foregoing, I wish to state that there was no act of illegality perpetuated by the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval staff or Chief of the Air Staff, regarding extending the length of service for officers. Extant guidelines and policies are always followed as laid out in the aforementioned document when the need arises. It also worthy of note, that quite a good number of the officers mentioned in the article are no longer in service.

Only very few are still in service, in the interest of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, which is in line with Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers, 2012, Paragraph 02.10 (d).
The general public is hereby re-assured that the service Chiefs under the strategic leadership of the Chief of Defence staff are focused and will remain so, in tackling the security challenges of the Nation, and would not be distracted by any means.

Thank God for the sacrifices of our troops. Today's Eid el fitr prayer was held in both Dikwa town and troops' camp peacefully:

Happy Eid to all Muslim faithfuls
