NAF vows to end Boko Haram war this year

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, gave the assurance on Saturday in Maiduguri while addressing troops of the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole, saddled with the task of ending the war on terrorism in the North East.

He said, “We must, therefore, keep working hard and I am very sure at least, before the end of this year or latest by the end of this year, we will be rounding up this operation. So work towards that and rest assured that the Nigerian Air Force will continue to support you.We cry, pray, fear for our lives every rainy season –Lagosians living in flood-prone areas

“I urge you to continue to ensure that everything is being done to ensure that Northeast and Nigeria are secured. On our part at the Air Force headquarters, I want to assure you that we will continue to support your operations, not only in terms of training you require, the equipment you require, but all the welfare requirements that you need in order to make you effective in your assigned task.”

He said in the last few years, more than 22 aircraft were procured while the delivery of 16 more is currently awaited, insisting that without the aircraft in the present security challenges, “the security situation in the country would have been unimaginable.”
