Commissioning the new accommodation, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Air Officer Commanding (AOC), Air Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Christopher Okoye expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari and members of the National Assembly for the timely release of funds to the NAF which has enabled it provide accommodation and other laudable projects in all NAF units across the country.
