The air chief ordered the Commanders to intensify precision air operations and deliver more decisive firepower against insurgents, terrorists, and criminal elements.
AS reported by Daily Trust, Aneke stated this while speaking during a high-level and strategic closed-door meeting on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
The spokesman of NAF, Ehimen Ejodame, said Air Marshal Aneke emphasized that the days ahead demand agility, precision, and intelligence-driven warfare.
“We must fly smarter and strike harder, not only to neutralize threats but to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians. Every mission must reflect professionalism, purpose, and patriotism.”
Ejodame explained that the meeting marked a critical step in recalibrating the NAF’s operational posture under the new leadership.
“It (the meeting) provided a platform to harmonize strategies, strengthen inter-service cooperation, and ensure that the Nigerian Air Force remains a decisive instrument of national security and a symbol of hope for citizens.”
