The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, joined the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Olufemi Oluyede, and other Service Chiefs at the Ministry of Defence in Abuja, for a pivotal meeting to formally receive the newly appointed Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa OFR.
The gathering underscores a key moment of jointness in operations as the Armed Forces align under new ministerial leadership amidst Nigeria’s complex and evolving security challenges.
The CAS reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s critical role in driving integrated joint operations across the nation. Leveraging advanced capabilities in aerial surveillance, precision engagement, and rapid response, the NAF continues to provide indispensable support to counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, and internal security missions.
This high-level convergence represents more than a ceremonial welcome; it highlights a strategic commitment to operational synergy, ensuring air power is fully coordinated with land and maritime forces, driven by timely and actionable intelligence.
