Kafayat Sanni, Nigeria’s first female fighter pilot, has won the best allied student award at the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC), Accra.
According to a statement by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF),
Sanni also won the award for the best assistant commandant paper during the
college’s graduation ceremony on Friday.
“Her outstanding performance at GAFCSC not only symbolises
personal excellence and resilience but also underscores Nigeria’s growing
leadership in regional defence and commitment to gender inclusion in the armed
forces,” the statement reads.
In 2019, Sanni was decorated as NAF’s first female fighter
pilot after completing her training in the US.
She was among the 13 female combatant pilots decorated after
55 years.
Since then, Sanni has flown the Alpha Jet and undertaken
training sorties on the Super Mushshak, serving as a prolific instructor pilot
and producing and mentoring younger pilots for the NAF.
