The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya has inaugurated welfare flight for troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) who are proceeding on a pass to and fro the theatre of operations.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Tuesday, said the inaugural flight was part of COAS’ efforts to cater for the welfare of troops and boost their morale.
He said it was in that regard that the initiative was birthed in order to ease the movement of the personnel of OPHK. The COAS said the ongoing joint operations in the theatre had further strengthened the synergy between the services and other security agencies.This, according to him, informed the decision of Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao, to provide the Nigerian Air Force Charlie-130 aircraft to airlift troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria .
According to him, the flight will be twice a month to meet the two weeks duration of leave passes in the theatre.The COAS further directed that all security measures be strictly adhered to, as troops will be thoroughly searched, cleared and documented before boarding the flight.
