The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has joined the global community in commemorating the International Day of Peace, emphasising that true peace transcends the mere absence of conflict to include harmony, cooperation, and compassion among people.
The Nigerian Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar said that “while their primary duty is to safeguard the nation’s airspace and ensure operational readiness, their role also extends to deterring aggression, fostering stability, and supporting humanitarian operations during crises and natural disasters.”
According to him, through international collaborations, joint exercises, and partnerships, “we continue to build trust, deepen cooperation, and contribute to global peace and security.”
He noted that beyond their operations, the NAF actively nurtures a culture of peace by empowering communities, engaging in dialogue, and strengthening Civil-Military Relations that prioritise respect, protection of civilians and shared prosperity.
“We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to promoting peace, unity and understanding, because a safer, more harmonious world is possible when we act together,” he said.
