In a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Cdre Edward Gabkwet, the CAS who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Charles Ohwo stated that the NAF would provide the necessary technical and engineering support towards ensuring the activation of Air Wing for the AFL.

“Whenever you have pilots for further training, be rest assured that our training schools are open for them to become full-fledged pilots under the Nigerian Air Force pilots training programme”.

 

He further urged the AFL to take advantage of NAF’s technical and engineering schools for non-pilot courses such as the Air Traffic Control and ground support crew.

 

The CAS also pledged that the NAF would support the AFL in providing airlift capability for AFL contingent to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission (MINUSMA) in Mali once the request is made.

 

 

In his remarks, Major General Prince Charles Johnson III, said he was in Nigeria to further strengthen the bilateral ties between the AFL and Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) and to appreciate the AFN for its support to Liberia over the years especially during the civil war.

 

 

Commending the ‘big brother’ role of the AFN as the regional super power, Charles added that the relative peace and stability being enjoyed by his country as well as her achievements were as a result of enormous support from Nigeria.

 

He noted that most of the NAF’s senior officers some of whom are still in service had sacrificed a lot in helping Liberia get back on track after the country’s devastating civil war.

 

 

Major General Charles further stated that the country’s strategic military objective was to establish an Air Wing or Air Reconnaissance Unit for the AFL as prescribed by Liberian’s National Defence Act which is yet to be actualized.

 

 

He therefore solicited NAF’s technical assistance to facilitate the establishment of its Air Wing, considering NAF’s expertise in airpower, adding that Nigeria’s military assistance to Liberia was numerous and cannot be over emphasized especially in the training of her pilots.

 

He also requested NAF to continue to assist the country in providing training slots for pilot and non-pilot courses with a view to tapping from Nigeria’s vast experience in defence and security.

 

 

On the CoS entourage were Col JS Willie, Commander Coast Guard AFL, Lt Col LM Lamon, Deputy Defence Attaché Accra as well as the 2 AFL pilots, amongst others.
