Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s commitment to eliminating insurgents, terrorists and other criminal elements threatening national security.
He gave the assurance during an operational visit to the Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA at the 213 Forward Operating Base, Katsina, where he urged personnel to intensify efforts in line with President Bola Tinubu’s directive to neutralise all threats.
Aneke said recent government investments in new platforms, advanced weapons and improved training place a greater responsibility on the Air Force to deliver decisive results.
He urged personnel to honour the sacrifices of fallen heroes by remaining innovative, focused and relentless.
Commending their courage and professionalism, the CAS vowed that NAF would continue to track and strike hostile elements wherever they hide.
He also reiterated his commitment to prioritising personnel welfare, training and equipment, stressing that “a force that fights hard must also live well.”
Aneke said NAF will sustain technology-driven operations to maintain aerial superiority and support ground troops nationwide.
