Celebrating over Five Decades of Aerial Warfare - THISDAYLIVE

As the curtain closed on the 55th anniversary celebration of the Nigerian Air Force, Chiemelie Ezeobi reports that it was a plethora of activities including but not limited to research and development exhibition, ceremonial parade and aerial displays, which underscored how far the service has come over the years

The first batch of 10 cadets was enlisted in 1962 to undergo training with the Ethiopian Air Force. The second set of 16 cadets was enlisted in February 1963 to undergo training with the Royal Canadian Air Force while six cadets were sent to the Indian Air Force. Consequently, several countries were approached but the lot fell on the German Air Force to provide technical assistance for the local training of NAF personnel and this materialised in 1963.

These additional roles include enforcing and assisting in coordinating the enforcement of international law, conventions, practices and customs ascribed and acceded to by Nigeria relating to aerial or space activities in the Nigerian airspace, coordinating and enforcing all national and international air laws acceded or ascribed to by Nigeria and de-lineating, demarcating and coordinating all aerial surveys and security zones of the Nigerian airspace.

In his address, the CAS disclosed that the NAF R&D Competition/Exhibition was organised to motivate innovators and research outfits to explore the possibilities of identifying areas of potential partnership with the NAF in order to strengthen Nigeria’s technological base as a veritable tool for national development.

Also, two other NAF Commands conducted medical outreaches in communities within their Areas of Responsibility . The Logistics Command , with its headquarters in Lagos, conducted a medical outreach for residents of Lagos Island Community, Iya-Iduganran Isale Eko, Lagos State, while the Tactical Air Command in Makurdi conducted an outreach for the Basu Angbaye community in Makurdi, Benue State.

Also as part of activities marking the anniversary, NAF held a Golf Kitty at the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Golf Course in Abuja. The categorised Golf Kitty saw a total of 70 entries, cutting across golfers from the NAF and different Golf Clubs in Abuja. At the well-attended event, the K-9/Special Forces displayed as well as a thrilling Order of Battle Flypast and Aerial display by some of the platforms in the inventory of the NAF.
