Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The immediate past Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar on Tuesday said he was leaving the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fulfilled.<\/p>\n

Sadique made the assertion during a Fly Out parade organized for his exit by the Nigerian Air Force at NAF Base in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Sadique who acknowledged God for his help while in service, said in the last five years, the Nigerian Air Force, has been repositioned and restructured into a highly \u201cprofessional and disciplined force.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed optimism that with the 15 aircraft and eight unmanned combat aerial vehicles provided recently, NAF would be able to address the current security challenges in the country.<\/p>\n

Sadique also expressed confidence that the current Chief of the Air Staff, Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao would deliver on his job.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I exit the Nigerian Air Force, I am leaving the service fulfilled because I have substantially achieved what I set out to achieve. I want to thank all my family members especially my aged mother for their support, prayers and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari, last week, approved the resignation of the nation\u2019s Service Chiefs including Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.<\/p>\n

Buhari subsequently appointed Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief of Defence Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral A. Z. Gambo, Chief of Naval Staff; and Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao, Chief of Air Staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
