I’m very optimistic, that with the newly purchased 12 jets by the presidency,upon the need to expand the capacity of this great institution,our nation will once again become safer and evenly protected.
To the pilots who have lost their lives,in the course of service,I eulogise you and celebrate your families for nurturing you to accept a significant responsibility to defend your father land. Your efforts shall never be in vain,as I use this medium to appeal to those concerned that the families of our departed heroes should be cared for; bringing them closer to us and sharing the fulfillment of lending their offsprings to the service of the nation.
May Almighty God continue to bless all those who have taken pride to defend our sovereignty and pride as a Nation. God bless the Air Force and my great country,Nigeria,” he writes.
