The Air Officer Commanding (AOC), Mobility Command, Air Vice Marshal Micheal Nnanye Onyebashi, recently paid a courtesy visit to the AOC, Logistics Command, Air Vice Marshal Abubakar Abdul Sule, to bolster inter-command collaboration.
The visit focused on enhancing the coordination between the Nigerian Air Force’s (NAF) mobility and logistics wings, a partnership viewed as essential for sustaining long-term air operations and improving mission success rates.
During the engagement, both senior officers emphasized that the seamless integration of transport capabilities and supply chain management is critical to the NAF’s ability to respond rapidly to national security challenges.
The meeting serves as a practical application of the command philosophy of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke. The CAS has consistently advocated for integrated operations and people-centred leadership to ensure the service remains agile and efficient.
According to officials, the partnership aims to achieve several core military objectives:
Enhanced Synergy: Breaking down administrative barriers between commands to allow for faster decision-making.
Operational Efficiency: Ensuring that aircraft, spare parts, and personnel are moved to frontline locations with minimal delay.
Readiness: Maintaining a high state of alert across the Nigerian Air Force through improved maintenance and supply schedules.
This high-level engagement reinforces the NAF’s commitment to internal collaboration as a foundation for effective air power projection.
