The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s commitment to tackling unemployment within its bases with the launch of a two-pronged empowerment initiative for barrack youths.

The initiative, comprising the CAS Fellowship Programme and the CAS Youth Technical and Vocational Skills Development Programme, is designed to equip young people with practical skills and opportunities for self-reliance, promote economic independence and support community development.

Speaking at the official unveiling of the programmes, Air Marshal Aneke said the Nigerian Air Force recognises that the strength of any military institution lies not only in its operational capability but also in the well-being, development and empowerment of its human capital.
