The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, has assured Nigerians that the Nigerian Air Force is committed to the safe rescue of the School victims.
Aneke gave this assurance on Saturday in Abuja during the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, second quarter 2026 route march exercise.
The Chief of Staff represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Abubakar Abdullahi, said that the NAF remained committed to supporting ongoing security operations across the country.
He said the service would continue to work in synergy with other security agencies to protect lives and property, as well as advance national security objectives.
Aneke added that the route march underscored the NAF’s commitment to the health, wellness and fitness of its personnel as critical components of operational effectiveness and mission success.
He added that healthy and physically fit workforce is better positioned to meet the demands of modern military operations and contribute meaningfully to national security efforts.
He said the exercise also promoted teamwork, camaraderie, esprit de corps and overall wellness among personnel, while strengthening the bond necessary for effective service delivery.
Aneke, however, urged personnel to embrace healthy lifestyles and regular physical activities as part of their daily routines to sustain their physical and mental well-being.
He said all personnel had been directed to participate actively in weekly Wednesday sporting activities across NAF bases to encourage fitness and social cohesion.
According to him, the initiative will also provide opportunities for talent discovery for the Armed Forces of Nigeria games and discourage activities that distract personnel from their responsibilities.
He further expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his continued support towards the development and operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Air Force.
He also commended senior officers, officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff for their dedication and participation in the exercise.
The CAS further praised the commander, 053 Headquarters, Nigerian Air Force Camp, and his team for successfully hosting the exercise.
