Results from the sustained onslaught on Boko Haram insurgents shows that the fight against the terrorist group would soon be over.

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar said this in Yola while inaugurating the newly completed residential blocks at Yola Air Force Base, saying the outcome of the offensive operations showed that the fight against Boko Haram was gradually coming to an end; this, however does not mean that they should rest on their oars.

Abubakar said the provision of befitting accommodation to officers and men of the force was parts of many welfare packages organized by the force.

According to him, the present administration would ensure the welfare of personnel, and in return, urged personnel to embrace the high level of professionalism in the conduct of their activities.

Abubakar who spoke through Nigerian Air Force Chief of Administration, Air Vice Marshal Shittu Alao said the Yola base, which was hosting the air component of “Operation Lafiya Dole”, was very crucial in the fight against insurgency.
