Chief Of Air Staff, Abubakar, Visits Caverton Helicopters (Photos) by femisplash(op): 3:58pm On Dec 15, 2024
As part of his operational tour of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) establishments in Lagos, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar, on 13 December 2024, visited Caverton Helicopters Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility to evaluate progress on the ongoing 2,500-hour and 5-year major inspections of NAF Bell-412 helicopters (NAF 599 and NAF 600).

The visit highlighted the critical role of indigenous expertise in advancing NAF’s operational capabilities and fostering sustainable aviation solutions.

Air Marshal Abubakar commended Caverton’s technical expertise and cutting-edge facilities, expressing satisfaction with the quality of work being done. He noted that NAF 600 was near operational readiness, while NAF 599 was 70% complete.

The CAS emphasized the importance of leveraging local partnerships to reduce reliance on foreign services, enhance NAF’s fleet maintenance, and build national capacity for aircrew training and technical development. He described the collaboration with Caverton as a model for sustainable solutions that align with the NAF’s commitment to operational excellence.

The Chief Executive Officer of Caverton Helicopters, Mr. Olabode Makanjuola, assured the CAS of the company’s readiness to continue delivering top-notch services to support NAF operations.

He highlighted the facility’s achievements in overhauling critical helicopter components and noted the value of the NAF partnership in strengthening Nigeria’s aviation industry.

The visit underscored the strategic importance of indigenous collaborations in bolstering national security and advancing Nigeria’s aviation sector.

A very commendable cooperation between the Nigerian Air Force and an Indigenous Aircraft repairs and maintenance company. The company also operates in marine industry. Kudos to the Chief of Air Staff.

Nigeria is endowed with both human and technical expertise. According to Mr President, the "I can do" attitude of Nigerians. Patronizing indigenous company is encouraging to the growth and development of local industry.

Military aircraft’s should not be fixed in civilian hangers. I can bet you that the Airforce has able men to do the job but where “change” go comot from if dem do am in-house? Besides, with the huge amounts budgeted to the military, they can get whatever equipment they need to fix their aircraft’s in-house but as usual, Man must wack.

I disliked anything APC but truth be told, Your forefathers destroyed Nigeria not Tinubu. Tinubu took control just a year ago, your forefathers opened wide their eyes and let the country become rotten instead of taking actions but preferred to wail just like you are doing now over Nigeria situation during their time.

Y'all are cowards, you blame the government for every little misfortune that befall you and condemn people that are ready to speak out.

My question is, as a Chief of Air Staff, is he a pilot? Can he fly a plane or a chopper?

Thank you.

No African countries currently have fifth-generation fighter jets, where do you people get your backward mentality from?. If anything Tinubu has improved on the Military. He might have failed so far with the economy but not with the military.
