The Commander of the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), Maj-Gen. Yousef Al-Hnaity on Sunday arrived Abuja, the nation's capital on a week-long working visit to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters. NAN reports that his visit was disclosed by the Director of Public Relations, NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya.
He stated that the visit was to further deepen existing military cooperation between RJAF and NAF, stressing that NAF Chiefs had earlier visited Jordan in August to initiate collaboration between both countries. He described the visit as strategic and fruitful.
“The visit to RJAF was fruitful, leading to a promise to provide necessary military assistance and training to NAF. While in Nigeria, the top military officer from Jordan will pay a courtesy call on the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin, and the CAS, all in Abuja."
“He will also visit several NAF bases including the ones in Kaduna State and Lagos State, as well as interact with NAF frontline pilots in Maiduguri and Yola,” he said.
The Director expressed optimism that the collaboration between RJAF and NAF would assist the country in the area of capacity building especially for pilots and aircraft engineers who could train with their RJAF counterparts.
He explained that the choice of RJAF for partnership was because both countries share similar security challenges.
