The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, has urged the field commanders and personnel of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) involved in the ongoing counter-insurgency campaign, to comply with the rules of engagement.
Badeh advised them to maintain discipline during operations, especially in the enforcement of the emergency rule in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
The Air Chief spoke in Abuja during an interactive session with Air Officers Commanding (AOCs) and Field Commanders of NAF.
Badeh warned that commanding officers would be held accountable for wrongdoings by officers and men under them.
He said: We are having this meeting to put the managers of NAF on the same page because a lot has been happening, especially the security issues.
This is, therefore, organised to make the field commanders conversant with the latest developments in NAF and bring greater synergy within the management and command structures.
They are constantly reminded on the need for maintenance of discipline, particularly in the area of security. As you are aware, NAF is involved and currently participating in the ongoing efforts at restoring normalcy in the Northeast.
The Air Chief said another area of deliberation on the NAF’s current drive for self-sustainence is research and development.
He added that the service had recorded appreciable achievements in research and development, adding that the outcome of most of the researches were still classified.
