A total of 35 new pilots have joined the ranks of the Nigerian Air Force’s flying officers following their graduation from the 401 Flying Training School (FTS) in Kaduna.
According to the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, these pilots will be assigned to various national missions and will participate in ongoing operations across different theatres.
The graduation event occurred less than six months after the Nigerian Air Force announced the acquisition of 12 additional fighter aircraft to bolster its operational capabilities.
