The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, says the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) remains committed to promoting peace and stability both at home and abroad.
Mr Abubakar stated this in in his goodwill message on Sunday to mark the International Day of Peace 2025, commemorated under the theme ‘Act Now for a Peaceful World’.
According to him, peace goes beyond the absence of conflicts, stressing that for the NAF, it involved promoting harmony, cooperation and compassion.
“While our foremost duty is to safeguard Nigeria’s airspace and ensure operational readiness, we also play vital roles in deterring aggression, fostering stability, and supporting humanitarian operations in times of crises and natural disasters.
“NAF has strengthened international collaborations, joint exercises and partnerships that build trust, deepen cooperation, and contribute to global peace and security,” Mr Abubukar said.
The CAS further stated that beyond its operations, the service nurtured a culture of peace by empowering communities, engaging in dialogue, and strengthening civil-military relations based on respect and protection of civilians.
He reaffirmed the NAF’s unwavering commitment to peace, unity and understanding, adding, “a safer, more harmonious world is possible when we act together.”
