Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), says the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) will get 50 brand-new aircraft between December 2024 and 2026.
Abubakar made the announcement during the second biannual meeting of Branch Chiefs and Air Officers Commanding on Thursday in Abuja.
He stated that the NAF had successfully inducted 12 aircraft into its inventory over the previous year, which was a great accomplishment that the military had not seen in a long time.
According to him, these are exciting times that need creative thinking, resilience, and commitment.
He urged officers and soldiers to maintain the greatest levels of professionalism, ethics, and loyalty while contributing to the NAF’s overall objective.
He said:
“A few months ago, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Nigerian Air Force, which ushered us into a golden era of transformation and evolution.
“Over the past years, we have successfully inducted 12 aircraft into our inventory, and God willing, we shall take delivery of 50 brand new aircraft between December this year and 2026.
“This is a remarkable achievement that we have not witnessed in a very long time. Indeed, these are exciting times that demand innovative thinking, resilience, and dedication.
“I am confident that, under your leadership, the men and women under your commands will rise to the occasion and excel in all tasks set before them,” he stated.
