To ensure fitness for the ongoing counter-insurgency operations, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar has introduced a routine exercise schedule for officers and personnel of the Air Force.
This was disclosed by Air Vice Marshall James Gbum who addressed newsmen on behalf of the Chief of Air Staff at the end of a five-kilometers road walk in Abuja on Saturday.
He said : “As you know, we are fighting insurgency and it behoves on the military officers and personnel to be ready at any time they are called upon for any operation against the insurgents.
“ Therefore, the Chief of Air Staff has put in place this routine physical exercise to ensure that officers and men are healthy.
“ As military personnel, you can be called upon at any time; you have signed to work for 24 hours a day, that is why everybody must be ready and fit."
He reminded the participants that the five kilometers walk was to prepare them for the 10 kilometers walk jog which comes up later in the year.
