The Nigerian Air Force said that it had appointed new Branch Chiefs and Air Officers Commanding (AOC). The command also said that it redeployed some senior officers and that this exercise is in response to the security challenges currently affecting the nation.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the Air Force spokesperson, said in a statement that the reorganisation was approved by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao.
The Air Force Command used the opportunity to charge the new officers to “maximize the deployment of firepower against terrorists and other criminal elements.”
