The Nigerian Air Force has announced that 1,190 recruits will pass out on Saturday.
While paying tribute to NAF’s fallen heroes, the air force chief said the milestone was a reminder of their sacrifices, courage and commitment.
Mr Abubakar gave the charge at the NAF Safety Review Board Meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
The air chief said the NAF, which started from a very humble beginning, had become one of the top air forces on the African continent.
He charged NAF personnel to maintain high vigilance and alertness in dealing with the country’s current security challenges.
The Air Force promised to provide officers with “facilities such as gyms and swimming pools in our bases.”
