Nigerian Air Force officers enhance munitions safety and operational skills at international training programme in Turkey
The Nigerian Air Force has enhanced its technical and safety capabilities following the participation of three officers in an international Munitions Management and Safety Course held in Ankara from February 23 to 27, 2026.
The programme, hosted at the Turkish Partnership for Peace Training Centre, brought together 28 officers from 14 countries, focusing on modern munitions management and safety practices.
According to the Air Force, the training forms part of ongoing efforts to improve operational effectiveness and exposure to global best practices through professional military education.
It provided a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and understanding of United Nations and NATO doctrines, terminologies, and safety guidelines.
Participants also engaged in group discussions and syndicate sessions on national safety procedures, operational frameworks, and emerging technologies in munitions management.
The training aligns with the command philosophy of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, which emphasises deliberate training, international collaboration, and continuous professional development to enhance operational readiness.
The Nigerian Air Force stated that the programme will strengthen safety standards, professionalism, and mission effectiveness across its operations.
