Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, has pledged the committee\u2019s unwavering commitment to enhancing Nigeria\u2019s air defence capabilities through robust and consistent legislative support.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hon. Rurum made this statement during the committee\u2019s 2025 oversight tour of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) facilities across Kaduna, Kano, Maiduguri, and Makurdi. He emphasized that the visit aligns with the National Assembly\u2019s constitutional mandate to promote transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency within the NAF.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The oversight exercise focused on assessing infrastructure conditions, personnel welfare, budget implementation, and the operational readiness of NAF units stationed in these strategically significant regions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the Nigerian Air Force Base in Kaduna, Hon. Rurum remarked, \u201cAs members of the Tenth House of Representatives, our guiding principles are accountability, transparency, and dedicated service to the Nigerian people.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Armed Forces constitute the bedrock of our national security, with the Air Force playing a pivotal role in counter-terrorism, internal security, and safeguarding Nigeria\u2019s airspace sovereignty.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cKaduna holds strategic importance within the Air Force\u2019s operational landscape, hosting vital training schools, logistics centers, and operational units. Our objective during this visit is to engage, evaluate, and report back to the National Assembly to strengthen legislative support for the Air Force.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Kano, Hon. Rurum led the delegation to the 403 Flying Training School (403 FTS), the 465 Nigerian Air Force Hospital (465 NAFH), and the 455 Base Services Group (455 BSG).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThese institutions are crucial for training, welfare, and operational support of our Air Force personnel,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe commend the leadership and all officers for their relentless commitment to Nigeria\u2019s defence and stability. Your professionalism, courage, and sacrifices are sincerely valued.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, during inspections in Kaduna, the committee identified persistent issues such as chronic underfunding of essential operations and infrastructure, delays in the release of capital funds, poor welfare conditions, inadequate housing for personnel, late payment of salaries and allowances, and aging, overused equipment.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are deeply concerned about these challenges as they adversely affect morale, operational readiness, and the overall effectiveness of the Nigerian Air Force,\u201d Hon. Rurum stressed. \u201cThe Committee will address these matters with utmost priority.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the Maiduguri Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, the Deputy Chairman, Hon. Rufus Adeniyi Ojuawo, expressed gratitude to the frontline officers and assured them of continued collaboration between the legislative and executive branches to tackle Nigeria\u2019s security challenges.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are honoured to visit Maiduguri, the frontline in Nigeria\u2019s battle against terrorism and insurgency, in line with our constitutional responsibilities,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis oversight is more than routine\u2014it offers an invaluable opportunity to witness firsthand the operational hurdles faced by our courageous airmen and to deepen our understanding of their frontline service.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur presence here signals solidarity with the Nigerian Air Force, especially those deployed in conflict zones. As Deputy Chairman and a retired Air Vice Marshal, I personally identify with your experiences. I am aware of the daily dangers, the extended hours on high alert, and the significant responsibilities you bear. Your concerns are central to every legislative dialogue I participate in.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing personnel at the Makurdi NAF Base in Benue State, Hon. Ojuawo lauded the Air Force for its professionalism, discipline, and unwavering dedication despite numerous operational challenges.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have witnessed the passion and commitment that define the personnel here in Makurdi. Your devotion to national service, despite hurdles such as poor infrastructure, funding delays, and evolving security threats, is truly commendable,\u201d he stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThanks to your sacrifices, millions of Nigerians enjoy peace and security. Our Committee remains steadfast in advocating for improved funding, timely capital releases, and focused investments to address gaps in personnel welfare, housing, and operational resources. We pledge to present your concerns to the National Assembly with determination to ensure the Nigerian Air Force receives the necessary support for optimal performance.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the Maiduguri Base Services Group, Commander Group Captain Nwachukwu expressed appreciation for the lawmakers\u2019 commitment to reinforcing Nigeria\u2019s air defence system. He highlighted ongoing challenges, including inadequate funding, the need for continuous training of flight cadets, and insufficient accommodation for personnel.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Observers noted that across all four locations visited, the committee\u2019s attention centered on funding shortages, delays in capital disbursement, and accommodation deficits\u2014factors that threaten morale and operational efficiency within the Air Force.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the visits, the committee engaged senior officers and personnel, received detailed briefings on operations and logistics, and reaffirmed the National Assembly\u2019s resolve to provide continuous legislative backing to strengthen the Nigerian Air Force\u2019s capabilities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The insights gathered during the oversight tours will inform the committee\u2019s formal recommendations to the House of Representatives and guide future legislative initiatives in the defence and security sectors.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Air Force, Hon.
