CAS SOLICITS PAKISTAN SUPPORT TO BOOST REGIMENT TRAINING
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Mshl Sadique Abubakar has asked the Pakistan military to help the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to boost the local training of its Special Forces personnel. The CAS made the call while receiving the Director General Joint Staff of the Pakistan Armed Forces (PAF), Lt Gen Najeeb Ullah Khan in his office at NAF Headquarters, Abuja. Air Mshl Abubakar urged his guest, who was in Nigeria to seek new areas of bilateral cooperation between Pakistan and Nigeria, to consider the possibility of seconding PAF Special Forces trainers to Nigeria to help train more NAF Regiment personnel at home, noting its inherent advantage of cost effectiveness.
Recall that before now, the British Military Advisory and Training Team (BMATT) has been involved in training NAF Regiment personnel locally in force protection and airfield defence with a view to building their capacity to protect key NAF installations and assets. This gesture is part of the United Kingdom assistance to combating insurgency challenge in Nigeria. The recent call on the Pakistan Government by the CAS is to give boost to the local training of NAF Special Forces personnel. The CAS identified pilot training and aircraft maintenance as other areas of possible defence cooperation between Nigeria and Pakistan.
