Chief of Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar, has disclosed in a press briefing with editors of online media,that following the refusal of the US government and some other western states to sell weapons to intensify Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram, the federal government has secured the support of Russia, China and Pakistan.

The Nigerian Air Force is expecting arrival of war-planes and helicopters from Pakistan and Russia to boost its fleets.

“I want to say that we have been enjoying support from other countries. (Sometimes arms procurement) is shrouded in a lot of politics.

‘’Unfortunately, I’m not a politician, so I cannot be able to say much on that. But what I can tell you is that right now, as I speak to you, we are expecting the Pakistani Chief of Air Staff in Nigeria soon. Pakistan has accepted to sell ten trainer airplanes.

The chief of staff also disclosed that, the force has trained some officers abroad and have other pilots that have just finished training in the United Kingdom.


‘’We have additional pilots that are training in South Africa. We have more pilots that are training in the Egyptian Air Force and so many other places, including Russia. We are really getting support.” On the competence of Nigerian fighter pilots,

He also said : “In the last 18 months, we have flown almost 3000 hours with no incident. In terms of competence I can tell you that the Nigerian Air Force pilots are among the most competent because the training curriculum is very clear.

‘’That is why now in the Air Force you look at the wings, pilots wear wings. We have categorized the wings according to their skill levels. We also organize simulation training for our pilots, we organize evaluation visits where pilots are evaluated without any notice.

‘’We have also sent over 700 personnel of the NAF to different parts of the world to train and acquire the skills required for them to be effective.’’

“Another sub-strategy under this is the reactivation of airplanes. We have embarked on the reactivation of airplanes and today as I speak to you we are on the thirteenth aircraft. What I mean by reactivation is that aircraft that were not in involved in any fight before the coming of the present federal government; they were parked before but are today part of the fight.

The thirteenth aircraft as I speak to you is being worked upon in Yola and we are hoping that before the end of this month that airplane will be flying. When you train, you must reactivate the platform to be used in flying,’’ he said.
