Badaru Charges NAF To Dominate Airspace, Eradicate Insecurity



By Muhammad Tijjani 

The Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has urged the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to intensify efforts to dominate the airspace and contribute to ending insecurity in Nigeria, particularly in the North-West region.

The Personal Assistant to the minister on Media and Publicity, Mati Ali, said this in a statement issued to newsmen on Friday.

Ali said during a visit to the Headquarters 213 Forward Operating Base in Katsina State, the Minister stated that "We are deploying additional platforms, including attack helicopters and drones, to enhance your capabilities and eliminate bandits and terrorists."

The Minister reassured the troops of President Bola Tinubu's commitment to ending insecurity, saying, "Mr. President is pleased with your progress and will provide necessary equipment and support your welfare."

On time line of ending insecurity, the Minister said: "End it now, please. End insecurity now."

Earlier, the Minister also addressed senior officers, officers and men of at FOB Zurmi and Gurbi Baure where he commended them for the renewed vigour to eradicate insecurity in the region.

 "I have seen you, you are all charged. The progress we are recording so far indicates that you have the capacity and the will to end it, so we come to thank you for the efforts so far." 

He said that with the troops commitments in the last few months, there have been progress every day,  expressing optimism that insecurity would end as quickly as possible.



He commended the two States; Zamfara and Katsina for supporting federal government in the fight against insecurity in the region.

 "Well, I believe all the states are cooperating. Early this week, we had meeting with the two governors of Katsina and Zamfara, as well as the National Security Adviser, all in an effort to strategize on how to end the insecurity in these states and the Northwest. And I believe that with the new command we are reassured that  insecurity will soon end particularly with the support from the public " he stated.
