Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, says the Nigerian Air Force is re-assessing its strategy and formulating new tactics in its fight against Boko Haram.
Abubakar said this on Wednesday, while on an operational visit to 97 Special Operations Group in Port Harcourt, Rivers.
He said it was important for the Nigerian Air Force to evaluate past performances and improve on areas of necessity, adding that this would provide an effective force to tackle security challenges in both the North-East and Niger-Delta.
“What I can assure you is that we are doing everything possible to evaluate what has been done in the past with a view to re-strategising so that we have a very effective force to deal with security challenges both in the Niger Delta and the North-East.
“We are trying to look at processes. What have we been doing in the past? What do we need to do more to be more effective? That is why this is the second unit I am visiting since I came into office.
“I am in Port Harcourt to look at our men, look at our assets, officers and men who have been contributing so much in terms of dealing with the security challenges; to also see what assets we need to bring in more to enhance our effectiveness in dealing with these challenges.”
