CAS AT NADCEL 2023, INSPECTS ONGOING PROJECTS AT NEW NAF BASE IN IBADAN

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hasan Abubakar joined other dignitaries and well-wishers at Ibadan earlier today, 6 July 2023, for the 2023 Nigerian Army Day Celebration (NADCEL). The event, which coincided with the 160th Anniversary of the Nigerian Army (NA) witnessed display of various arsenals in the inventory of the Nigerian Army, parade as well as NA Physical Training Corp calisthenics display. Nigerian Air Force (NAF) C-130 aircraft and Mi-17 helicopter were also on hand to provide airlift for NA rappelers and paratroopers who exhibited skills, courage and professionalism during the well-attended event. Indeed, it was a commendable display of synergy and coordination by NAF aircrew and NA troops.

While at Ibadan, the CAS also took time to inspect ongoing projects at the new NAF Base situated at Ajia Community, Ibadan.

Recall that in April 2022, the NAF took possession of a 58-hectare land at Ajia Community in Ibadan donated by the Oyo State Government for the construction of a permanent NAF Base. It is hoped that when completed, the new Base would enhance NAF readiness and responsiveness to security challenges in the State. Situated near the Ibadan Airport, the new Base is also expected to serve as an alternate airfield to Lagos airfield, thus enabling the NAF to launch seamless and efficient air operations in the Southwest Region of Nigeria.

News has it that the Chief of Naval staff has refused to hand over, on the ground that he has not paid navy personnels and contracts awarded.

NIGERIAN NAVY DEBUNKS ALLEGATION BY SOME ONLINE MEDIA OF THE OUTGOING CHIEF OF THE NAVAL STAFF’S REFUSAL TO HAND OVER

The attention of the Naval Headquarters has been drawn to a malicious publication by some online media such as Peoples Gazette, , hallmarknews and others alleging the refusal of the outgoing Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral AZ Gambo CFR to hand over to the incoming Chief of the Naval Staff, Rear Admiral EI Ogalla. The media reports are totally lies, misleading and capable of spreading falsehood to unsuspecting members of the public. It is therefore necessary to put the record straight.

Suffice to state that handing and taking over ceremony in the Nigerian Navy from inception is procedural. Upon the announcement of the change of the ‘Watch on deck’, the outgoing CNS is expected to give detailed brief to the incoming CNS, tour key naval facilities and perform the ceremonial lowering of ensign. Accordingly, the programme of events leading to the formal handing and taking over ceremony has kicked off to culminate at a public ceremony on Friday 23 June 2023 in line with age-long naval tradition.

Instructively, it is pertinent to mention that sister Services are also due to hand over as they have set aside specific dates for their handing and taking over ceremonies.

Members of the public are therefore advised to discountenance the malicious publication and erroneous information as a figment of the reporter’s imagination.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the general public.

African Presidents insulted and our delegation humiliated in Kiev, Ukraine.

Our leaders need to do better.

Instead of focusing on the conflict in Sudan, DRC & Mozambique, our Leaders instead have gone to Ukraine to be insulted.
