Air Vice Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, the Chief of Air Staff,
has said that the Nigerian Air Force is developing a new
strategy against the deadly Boko Haram sect.
Abubakar made this known during an operational visit to 97
Special operations group in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state
capital.
The vice marshall noted that such step would give an
effective force to tackle security problems in both regions,
continuing that he was in the state capital to have a look at
the officers, men and assets of the Nigerian Air Force.
His words: “What I can assure you is that we are doing
everything possible to evaluate what has been done in the
past with a view to re-strategising, so that we have a very
effective force to deal with security challenges both in the
Niger Delta and the North-East.
“We are trying to look at processes; what have we been
doing in the past? What do we need to do more to be more
effective? That is why this is the second unit I am visiting
since I came in office.
“I am in Port Harcourt to look at our men, look at our assets,
officers, who have been contributing so much in terms of
dealing with the security challenges; to also see what assets
we need to bring in more to enhance our effectiveness in
dealing with these challenges.”
Abubakar has also clarified that there was no perfect system
anywhere in the world and claimed that assessment was
necessary to determine areas of deficiencies with a view to
improving on them.
The Chief of Air Staff pointed out that pilots working in the
North-East were careful in order to avert collateral damages,
adding that such measure was in line with international
laws.
He revealed that the Nigerian Air Force was still attacking
Boko Haram enclaves with caution so as not to breach
international laws.
It should be noted that Nigerian President has just
concluded his official visit to the United States of America,
which was aimed to find help in the war against Boko Haram
insurgents..
