Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Sunday Aneke dropped big procurement news at a Christmas luncheon for Operation Fansan Yamma Sector 1 troops in Kaduna – fast-tracking 24 M-346 Fighter Ground Attack jets, 10 AW-109 Trekker helicopters, and extra UAVs to supercharge NAF’s airpower punch amid bandit/ISWAP hell in the Northwest.
Repped by AVM Alfred Shogbanmu, Aneke hailed frontline heroes as “true guardians” enabling Nigerians’ peaceful holidays, honoring fallen comrades while tying ops to Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda: kinetic strikes + non-kinetic wins like economic empowerment to uproot insurgency roots. He thanked the President, Defence Minister, and CDS for welfare/training boosts under his philosophy of a motivated, mission-ready force delivering decisive air effects with ground synergy.
Air Commodore Okechukwu Okpara, Sector 1 Commander, spotlighted NAF’s critical ground support degrading terrorists’ freedom – urging unrelenting resolve to restore peace across Naija.
