Gov Oborevwori lauds Nigerian Air Force for their accomplishments in north east

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State lauded the Nigerian Air Force for its achievements in the fight against insurgency in the North East on Thursday.

He gave the praise when he hosted a delegation of air officers, led by the Air Officer Commanding, AOC, Special Operations Command, Nigerian Air Force, Air Vice Marshal Eko Effiom, who visited him in Asaba.

He particularly applauded the AOC for his distinguished career in the Nigerian Air Force and his contribution to the war against terrorism and insurgency in the country.

He said, “I welcome the AOC Special Operations and your team to Delta State. I congratulate you for the remarkable career you have had in the Nigerian Air Force.

“I took my time to study your background and saw all the awards you have received in the course of your career; it gives me joy that you have been instrumental to the achievements we have made in the fight against terrorism in the North-East.

“We praise the Nigerian Air Force for its outstanding performance in various theatres where terrorists, bandits, and other perpetrators of violence have denied Nigerians peace of mind.

“I want to acknowledge the consistency, assistance, and wonderful cooperation between the security agencies in Delta State; they have been very wonderful and supportive of my administration.

“We have not heard of any serious security issues in the last few months; there is no way you can eradicate crime completely, but the major ones have been curbed.

“Your commandant in Delta is doing very well; he has never missed any security council meeting, and I want to assure you that we will give you all the support that is needed to do your job,” Oborevwori stated.
