Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Kingsley Lar, Chief of Administration
Headquarters of Nigerian Air Force (NAF), has said that training of
NAFpersonnel is essential for proficiency and timely delivery of
assigned task.

Lar was represented by the Director of Administration, NAF
Headquarters, Abuja, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Nelson Calmday. He said NAF personnel needed to be trained not only on war fighting purposes but on administrative skills so that they can effectively carry out task to support all forms of duty.

He said that workshop goes in line with the vision of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, which is :“To reposition NAF into a highly professional and disciplined force through capacity
building initiatives for effective, efficient and timely employment of
air power in response to Nigeria’s national security imperatives’’.

“So, for the essence of this workshop drawing from the Chief of Air
Staff vision is for NAF personnel to be equipped for efficient,
proficient and timely delivery of assigned task.

“We are in the system, and we know where to improve upon so
therewould be no delay or weakness impeding timely delivery of
assigned task,’’ he said.

He further explained that there were two categories of officers in the
training and they are junior officers and officers of middle rank.
“For officers of middle rank, it is a refresher course to them to
remind them of those things they already know as they had been able to
attend extensive workshop in staff colleges and war colleges,’’ he
said.

According to him, it is a quarterly workshop in each of the six
commands of the Nigerian Air Force scattered all over the country.
