NAF, UNESCO Centre Partner On Insecurity

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, made this known in Abuja when delegates from UNESCO Centre, Abuja paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

The CAS said the ideals of the centre were in tandem with that of the military in its mandate to maintain peace and security through the promotion of education, science and technology development and respect for the culture of individuals’ communities as a form of intelligence gathering.  

The CAS opined that it is in the interest of the military to constantly review civil-military relations as this is a mutually beneficial in the progress made thus far in the fight against insurgency and militancy in the country.
