The office of the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation (SGF) said that part of activities to
commemorate the country’s 58th Independence Anniversary will include displays
by the Nigerian Air Force jets and helicopters.
This was announced in a statement
by Mr. Gabriel Aduda, Chairman, 2018 Independence Day Organising Committee, on
Monday in Abuja.
Aduda said that movement of
military hardware would also be part of the activities.
He said the flight displays by
fast Air-Force jets and helicopters would be within the airspace of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
Aduda added that the major
airspace to be affected include those of Eagle Square, the three arms zones,
Keffi, Ado, Orozo, Karu, Nyanya, Guzape and Asokoro areas of the FCT.
He said that the Air Force jet
simulations involving a total of 27 air-craft assembled from various NAF units
were planned for between Sept. 14 to 30 and between 10.00 a.m to 4.00 p.m
daily.
He, therefore, advised members of
the public not to panic at the sight and sounds of the personnel and equipment
maneuvers by the military and other paramilitary agencies.
“Citizens are therefore advised
to go about their normal activities,” he said.
He added that full details of the
activities to mark the 2018 Independence Day would be released at a world press
conference on Sept. 18 at the National Press Centre in Abuja.
