The Commandant, Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Air Vice Marshal Adeniyi Amesinlola, has called on military personnel to redouble efforts in 2024 toward tackling and eradicating security challenges in our country.

Mr Amesinlola made the call as the Special Guest Of Honour during the Logistics Command, Nigerian Air Force, 2023 End Of The Year Base Sociocultural Activities held at the command on Friday.

He said that the security of Nigeria must be of top priority as members and families of the armed forces, and as such, must be considered an expedient routine exercise.

“We are all aware of the trending terrorism, kidnapping, armed banditry, insurgency and other forms of security challenges in various parts of the country. This hampers peace and economic development, we must therefore brace up to our responsibilities as professionally trained personnel to nib these menace in the bud.

“The NAFRC will continue to cooperate with the NAF and other sister services and security agencies to ensure peace and tranquillity reign within our area of responsibility,” the commandant said.

Mr Amesinlola said that he was elated to be invited as the SGOH for the 2023 BASA as directed by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar.

He said the activity was in consonance with one of the key enablers of the CAS command philosophy for the NAF which was “maintaining a highly motivated force by enhancing welfare and infrastructural renewal.”

“The logistics command is keying into this enabler and has also maintained focus in its mandate to provide credible logistics in support of NAF operations for the enhancement of national security,” Mr Amesinlola said.
