Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Abayomi Olonisakin, on Thursday
challenged officers and men of the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) to
remain loyal, disciplined, dedicated and patriotic in their
assignments.
Olanisakin gave the challenge during the graduation of 106
direct short service cadets held at the Military Training Centre,
NAF Base, Kaduna.
He particularly told the cadets that the service would not
compromise on discipline and patriotism, adding that they must gear
up to be part of the efforts to restore peace in parts of the
country.
“You must at all times, subordinate yourself to constituted
civil authority and protect democracy.
“Indeed, you must remain absolutely loyal to the President and
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Force of the Federal of Nigeria,”
he said.
According to him, the security situation in the country was
largely caused by criminal vices which directly or indirectly
provide impetus to the existential threat posed by insurgency and
terrorism.
Olonisakin however stressed that a lot have been achieved in
degrading the capacity and capability of insurgents and
terrorists.
“Much more need to be done to achieve the level of peace and
security we desire for Nigerian people,’’ he stressed.
The Chief of Defence Staff told the cadets that their “
commissioning into the service should therefore be regarded as part
of government’s efforts to restore normalcy.”
He said, “It is imperative to state that your decision to choose
military profession must be one borne from the desire to make
sacrifices because of your love to our country.
“You are passing out at a time when our nation is facing
numerous security challenges in the face of dwindling financial
resources.’’
The general noted that the NAF and the Armed Forces was at the
forefront in ridding the country of criminal elements and restore
normalcy.
He pledged that the Federal Government would continue to provide
the resources required for the NAF to perform its statutory
responsibilities.
The Chief Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, said NAF would
continue to build on the capacity of its personal, to produce a
very proficient and mobile attack force.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that awards were given
to four best cadets, who displayed exemplary conduct during the
training.
