Air Commodore G.I. Jibia, commander of the 303 Medium Airlift Group of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), says Nigeria is bleeding, calling for more cooperation among security agencies.

“As the chief of defence staff stated recently, the country is bleeding, security-wise, and we are in a very challenging situation,” Mr Jibia said. “We believe there is a need for all the security agencies to come together and through this collaborative effort, we can be result-oriented.”

Mr Jibia spoke during a visit on Tuesday to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Command Headquarters in Ilorin.

The commander, who recently assumed duty, explained that the visit was to seek the cooperation of NSCDC, saying that no security agency can succeed in isolation.

Mr Jibia added that it had become imperative to seek collaborative effort from the corps in order to achieve set out goals and objectives.

The commander explained that the 303 Medium Airlift Group of the NAF was established to provide all the medium airlifting requirements of the Nigeria Air Force.

Responding, the NSCDC commandant in Kwara, Makinde Ayinla, said it had become imperative for the security operatives to collaborate.
