Air Force Trains Over 2000 Officers Abroad, Procure Trainer Aircrafts by Nobody: 6:49pm On Apr 28, 2016
Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique
Abubakar, says over 2000 officers have so far
been trained from a range of specialist courses at
different military institutions both locally and
abroad. He also said that new air crafts and equipment
have been acquired to boost the fighting capacity
of troops in line with current security challenges in
the north east and other parts of the country.
Air Marshal Abubakar disclosed this at the 2016
Capacity Training Seminar for officers held at the
Nigerian Air Force Base in Kaduna State.
He announced that the Nigerian Air Force has
procured the Super Mushshak Trainer Aircraft that
will provide robust and enduring foundation for
combat pilots in order to enhance their
productivity.
The training with the theme, “Optimizing Human
Capacity Development to Enhance
Professionalism”, is part of the ongoing effort by
the Nigerian military to win the war against Boko
Haram terrorists in the north east.
It is also geared towards improving the manpower
development for officers and men of the service in
their future military assignments.
Addressing the officers at the event, Air Marshal
Abubakar, stressed the need for continuous
training and re-training of Airforce personnel for
them to be able to tackle the current security
challenges facing the nation.
He disclosed that the Nigerian Air Force had in the
last one year embarked on intensive individual and
group training of personnel within and outside the
country, adding that so far, a total of 2,275 officers
have been trained locally and another 535 trained
abroad in different specialties.
The Air Officer Commanding Training Command,
Kaduna, Air Vice Marshal Wakili Ahmed, highlights
the aim of the seminar which is to ensure a well-
trained and motivated personnel for the service.
Representative of Governor of Kaduna State
commended the effort of the Nigerian Military in
addressing some of the security challenges in the
state.
Over 100 officers, including Commanding officers,
were drawn from the various Air Force divisions
and units to attend the seminar, which will last for
two days.
The training will focus on capacity building
development, intelligence and analysis, operational
capacity building and force sustainment.
