The Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, has said that the Nigeria Air Force is developing a new strategy to fight insurgency and insecurity, particularly in the Niger Delta region and North East geo-political zone of the country.
Abubakar, who stated this yesterday, while speaking to newsmen during his operational visit to 97 Special Operations Group (SOG) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said there was need to evaluate past performances and improve on areas necessary.
He said, “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 can 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 into office.
“I am in Port Harcourt to look at our men, look at our assets, officers and men, 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.”
Commenting on the rot in the system, the Chief of Air Staff stated that there was no perfect operation, adding that evaluation was made to identify areas of deficiencies and improve on them.
Abubakar said, “There is no system that is perfect. We can look at the system we are operating, evaluate it with a view to identifying areas of deficiencies.
