As the military intensifies efforts in meeting the three-month
presidential directive to end activities of Boko Haram in the
North-east part of the country, the Nigerian Air Force has promoted
airmen as it promises to remain resolute in the fight for the unity
and sovereignty of the country.
The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar gave the
charge at the decoration ceremony of the newly promoted Air Warrant
Officers (AWO) in Abuja.
Abubakar charged the officers, especially the newly promoted, “on the
sustenance of military ethic values and regimentation as NAF strives
to achieve its current vision”.
According to him, the promoted officers are expected to provide
leadership and guidance by virtue of experience and service knowledge
as it affects administrative such as welfare, counselling and
admonition of personnel.
He said: “The vantage position of AWO was a key figure in keeping the
men on track towards the realisation of the current vision of the NAF
especially in the aspect of discipline, core values and service
delivery.
“I must use this medium to urge you all to see the present security
challenges as one that must be overcome. The presidential mandate to
terminate the activities of terrorists in our country is one that
requires all hands on deck.”
“In the fight for the unity of this country, we must remain resolute
and defend the sovereignty and territory of our great nation. Your
role in this war is very crucial.
“In this regard, the AWO is expected to show the best of example at
all times for the sustenance of military ethics, values, tradition and
regimentation,” the CAS added.
Speaking on behalf of the promoted officers, AWO Obi Francis assured
the CAS that the confidence reposed on them would be sustained.
Other promoted officers include, Onyenaka Nwuche, Ajolarune Alade,
Balami Madalaa, Muhammad Madugu, Adekunle Agboke, and Jimoh Kabira.
