He urged Senior Officers of the force to ensure that integrity, excellence and service delivery were prioritised, to eliminate mediocrity and corruption in the Air Force.
Professional And Disciplined Force
Addressing a meeting of Senior Officers and Commanders of the Air Force on Monday, weeks after he took over as the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar revealed his vision and mission for the Nigeria Air Force, with issues on policy directives topping talks.
Air Marshal Abubakar said the current spate of terrorism in the north-east had led to the ‘self-audit’ of the preparedness of the Air Force to defend the nation.
He said he had set up key drivers to help achieve his vision to reposition the Air Force into a highly professional and disciplined force, with effective and timely implementation of air power in response to national security needs.
“The most important task at hand is to assess the assets on ground and make efficient use of them for the current challenges while the authorities make arrangements for additional air power.
“We are doing everything humanly possible to mobilse all resources and air assets that we think will bring about the required change in the north-east and also in the south-south.
“In terms of capacity, I can tell you that we are doing everything to improve on what we have,” the Air Force Chief said.
He stressed that the primary responsibility of the Nigerian Air Force was to defend the nation and protect vital economic interests by air.
Air Marshal Abubakar also said Nigeria’s economic interests were presently being hampered by the insurgents in the north-east, therefore requiring strategic response from the air force as soon as possible.
