As
the military intensifies efforts in meeting the three-month
presidential directive to end activities of Boko Haram in the North-east
part of the country, the Nigerian Air Force has promoted airmen as
it promises to remain resolute in the fight for the unity and
sovereignty of the country.
The
Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar gave the
charge at the decoration ceremony of the newly promoted Air Warrant
Officers (AWO) in Abuja.
Abubakar
charged the officers, especially the newly promoted, "on the sustenance
of military ethic values and regimentation as NAF strives to achieve
its current vision".
According
to him, the promoted officers are expected to provide leadership and
guidance by virtue of experience and service knowledge as it affects
administrative such as welfare, counselling and admonition of personnel.
He
said: "The vantage position of AWO was a key figure in keeping the men
on track towards the realisation of the current vision of the NAF
especially in the aspect of discipline, core values and service
delivery.
"I

challenges as one that must be overcome. The presidential mandate to
terminate the activities of terrorists in our country is one that
requires all hands on deck."
