Nigerian Air Force to Overhaul Operations as Military High Command Vows to Sustain Actions Against Insurgents

In a strategic move aimed at enhancing operational effectiveness, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has unveiled plans for a significant overhaul of its operations to accommodate the dynamic nature of the current operational environment. This development comes as the military high command reaffirms its unwavering commitment to sustain air and ground operations against insurgents, armed bandits, and various non-state actors across the nation.

During a weekly operations briefing held at the Headquarters Nigerian Air Force in Abuja, Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hassan Abubakar, stressed the urgent need for personnel to intensify their efforts in eradicating all forms of criminality from society. While acknowledging the importance of employing non-kinetic means to engage aggrieved individuals, which falls beyond the military’s scope, he underscored the necessity of maintaining air and ground operations.
