The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has arrived in Maiduguri for his first operational visit to the North East.
He landed on Monday at the Maiduguri Air Force Base, where the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai and other top military officers welcomed him.
The purpose of his visit is to review ongoing air operations, improve coordination among units, and boost the morale of troops in the region.
Military sources say AVM Aneke will tour major operational facilities and receive updates from sector commanders on current activities.
He will also meet with aircrew and frontline personnel to discuss their challenges and operational requirements.
During the visit, the Air Chief will address troops at a durbar scheduled to hold at AVM EE Edem Hall.
His visit comes as the Nigerian Air Force continues efforts to strengthen air support and reinforce counterinsurgency operations in the area.
