Barely 24 hours after assuming office, the new Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has carried out a sweeping shake-up in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), redeploying several senior officers across commands and units nationwide.
The restructuring — coming swiftly after President Bola Tinubu’s charge to service chiefs to deliver on national security reforms and institutional accountability — is being seen as Aneke’s first major move to align the Air Force with the President’s renewed security directives.
In a statement signed by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF spokesperson, the Force said the redeployment was aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening command capacity, and improving response to the country’s evolving security threats.
“The new postings are designed to optimize command effectiveness, improve decision-making, and consolidate the Air Force’s readiness posture in line with the Chief of Air Staff’s vision,” the statement read.
