Nigeria’s Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao has reiterated the need for increased manpower development in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). CAS made the observation during the winging ceremony of another set of 6 helicopter pilots who recently completed their basic flying training at Draken Helicopter Academy in the United Kingdom (UK). Air Marshal Amao described human factor as the most critical airpower component that must be enhanced and sustained for effective and efficient performance. This, according to him, justifies the increase in manpower development witnessed in the NAF in recent times. “These efforts are expected to place the Service in a dominant position to deliver on its constitutional role more effectively, especially in the light of NAF’s involvement in several internal security operations across the country.
