The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has commended the efforts of the Air Component as well as other security agencies in diminishing the capabilities of terrorist elements in the Northwest.
He made this known earlier today, 17 June 2024, when he fête the Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji at 213 Forward Operating Base, Katsina.
According to the CAS, "As we continue the fight against insurgency and banditry bedeviling our dear nation, I want to commend and appreciate your resoluteness and gallantry."
He also stated that the successes by the Air Component Operation HADARIN DAJI in synergy with other security agencies have continued to contribute to security within the region.
He then urged them not to relent in their efforts and dedication to the fight against terrorism and all forms of criminality in Nigeria.
Earlier, Marshal Abubakar had commissioned some airfield facilities such as the new taxiway link, operations and engineering building, and the new sports complex. Specifically, the airfield facilities commissioned will no doubt ensure air operations, especially within the Northwest, are more effective and efficient.
