Air Marshal Abubakar reaffirmed that such duty is entrusted only to individuals who demonstrate exceptional traits and abilities.

He stated this on Saturday while serving as the Guest of Honour and Reviewing Officer at the Passing-Out Parade for Basic Military Training Course 44/2023, of 1,190 airmen and airwomen held at the Military Training Center (MTC), Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base in Kaduna.

In a statement by NAF’s Deputy Public Relations Officer, Group Captain Kabiru Ali, Air Marshal Abubakar commended the recruits for their perseverance and dedication, emphasising the transformative nature of their training.

He said “Your training was deliberately challenging, moulding you into warriors, tradesmen, and leaders with courage, discipline, and resilience”.

“You are now a vital part of the Nigerian Air Force’s mission to safeguard our nation’s sovereignty,” he added.

Abubakar urged the newly inducted airmen and airwomen to uphold NAF’s core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all they do.

He emphasised their responsibility to remain vigilant, respect civilians, and adhere strictly to rules of engagement and social media guidelines, noting that their actions now directly reflect on the esteemed image of the NAF.

“I urge you to operate within the rules of engagement as enumerated in the Code of Conduct for Armed Forces personnel involved in internal security operations. Respect and protect the innocent and law-abiding civilians whom you are paid to defend. Treat them with respect and protect their rights, as we build a nation where no man is oppressed.” he said

Air Marshal Abubakar also underscored the pivotal role the new recruits will play in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges, noting that many will be deployed to operational theatres and internal security operations.

He urged them to embrace opportunities for continuous training and self-development to enhance their professional growth and operational effectiveness.

He stated, “You are therefore called to a life of selfless service, and the efforts you make on the field will play a vital role in shaping the future of the Nigerian Air Force, strengthening the security of our nation, and ensuring its continued prosperity.”

He further added, “Some of you will subsequently be deployed to operational theatres or internal security operations to contribute your quota to our national security.”

The CAS thanked President Bola Tinubu for his unwavering commitment to addressing the operational, logistical, and welfare needs of the NAF.

He said “The President’s steadfast support enables us to perform our duties to the highest standards in service to our nation. I assure Mr President of our unalloyed loyalty and total commitment to his Agenda for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.”

He also acknowledged the hospitality and support of the Governor and people of Kaduna State, as well as the collaboration of other security agencies in fostering a conducive environment for training.
