The United States Government has commended the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) for its high level of preparedness ahead of the delivery of AH-1Z helicopters to Nigeria, including the readiness of designated NAF facilities where the aircraft will be based. The commendation was conveyed during a three-day high-level engagement between a US Government delegation from PMA-276, led by Robert Galan, and senior NAF stakeholders at the Headquarters Nigerian Air Force in Abuja.


In a press statement issued by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the meeting focused on the comprehensive Programme and Support Plan aimed at ensuring seamless integration, sustainment, and operational effectiveness of the incoming fleet.


The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Abubakar Abdullahi, reaffirmed the Service’s commitment to aligning all operational, technical, and logistical requirements to guarantee immediate operational readiness upon delivery of the aircraft.


According to the statement, the engagement highlights the steady progress of Nigeria–United States defence cooperation, anchored on mutual trust, shared security objectives, and institutional professionalism.


The commendation also reflects growing international recognition of the Nigerian Air Force’s strategic planning, modernization efforts, and disciplined approach to capability development under the leadership of the Chief of the Air Staff.


The NAF noted that beyond the acquisition of new platforms, the collaboration is expected to strengthen Nigeria’s airpower capability, enhance national security, and support broader efforts aimed at ensuring national stability and sustainable development.
