The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s uncompromising resolve to intensify air operations against insurgent and terrorist elements.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, Headquarters, Nigerian Air Force, said in a statement that the Service remains fully committed to decisive, intelligence-driven action across all theatres.
Speaking during a high-level strategic meeting with Air Component Commanders on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Aneke described the engagement as a critical war-fighting review forum aimed at sharpening operational effectiveness and accelerating the restoration of peace nationwide.
He stated that the meeting provided an opportunity to rigorously evaluate ongoing missions, close operational gaps, and align strategies with emerging threats.
He emphasised that counter-insurgency operations demand speed, precision, and relentless pressure on hostile elements.
“We must dominate the operational space through superior coordination, innovation, and unwavering professionalism. Every sortie, every mission, and every decision must move us closer to total security restoration,” he said.
The Chief of the Air Staff stressed that the Nigerian Air Force will continue to project overwhelming airpower in support of ground forces and joint operations.
